You recall Adam (Opie) Putnam from Florida? He was in the number two slot in the House. He resigned all his leadership posts a couple of years ago - when it was clear they were going down big time. There's no doubt this guy's views on policy are anathema to us, but he is not one bit stupid and is a reasonably charismatic guy (if you like the Calvinistic, right wing, hateful, smug certitude that is the hallmark of Repubican 'conservatives').
