Ed, you have a chance of making a run. Thelma is in some hot water. Nye may make a serious run at her by hanging onto Obama's coat tails.

If you are serious about running, you've got a volunteer right here (although I can't vote for you due to my house being in the 4th district).

From everything I've read, she's not on the list of 'vulnerable' GOP house candidates. That's not to say it's not going to be close, though. I think she's run a pathetic campaign. I mean, she continuously hammers the guy for not supporting oil drilling. Is that all she's got?

Still, I'm serious. I will enter the 2010 race if she loses.

I can see the campaign ads. You spent 4 years under the direct teaching of Jerry Falwell and then followed that up with 2 years as Pat Robertson's protege. Your race is over before it began.

Thelma's got nothing. She has the charisma and presence of a bad PTA president. While the Republicans are in the midst of completely blowing it, we might as well dump her too.

I would avoid mentioning the whole "METS" thing...

I disagree. This area used to be home to the Mets AAA affiliate, the Norfolk Tides. Plus, there are a lot of northern transplants here. You'd be surprised at the number of Mets fans.

As a Braves fan, if I'm living and voting in District 2 of Virginia in 2010, I will vote for Ed Dantes for Congress.

The problem here is that if you run under your real name, you will lose all of your name recognition points as Ed Dantes. Tough call if you ask me.

now, I really don't believe this is what Obama was trying to say...a lot of people on the left would rewrite most of the constitution if they could...and that is just crazy
HEIL! why do you hate the troops so much?
