15. Congressmen actually work harder than Senators. It's a more rough-and-tumble
legislative process. You have to scrap harder and throw more elbows as a Congressman.

And he certainly could "earn as he learns." At least that would be the likely argument.

I think Jindl fits better than Mormon Mittsy. Mittsy spent MILLIONS and MILLIONS...and no one voted for him.

He wasn't even a contender. He tried to buy primaries, and even that didn't work. And his record in MA is a DRAG. He didn't run for reelection here in MA not just because he was running for Prez, but also because he wouldn't have won. He never did anything here anyway--he was always gone.

What Jindl has working for him is that he isn't gay, he isn't Mormon, and his record is light enough so that it's hard to criticize him on it. He's also a "minority." A bit brown, but not TOO much for them. The GOP can get down with a LITTLE brown, certainly. All he has to do is memorize the talking points, and he's golden.
