    Bruce Poliquin, slimeball representing Maine's second district didn't live in the district until after he was elected. He "grew up" in the second district, but moved away long ago. He lived in a multi-million dollar oceanfront compound in southern Maine and promised to buy a home in the district if he won. Well he did. I doubt he has slept very many nights in that house.

        Scalise shooting is Obama's Fault. Thanks Obama.

        (CNN)Republican Rep. Steve King said Wednesday he partly blames former president Barack Obama for the divided political climate that he argues led to the shooting of House Majority Whip and three others on a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia.
        "I do want to put some of this at the feet of Barack Obama," the Iowa congressman said in an interview with Simon Conway on WHO Iowa radio. "He contributed mightily to dividing us. He focused on our differences rather than our things that unify us. And this is some of the fruits of that labor."

          Which is greater: the number of days Steve King has been in Congress without authoring a bill or the population of the city he lives in?

                        It's been on hold. There was no way I was going through the Housing Crisis without my established caffeine delivery system.

                        But thanks for reminding me to take it up again. Dr. Mrs. has a Keurig and we live near a Starbucks now, so I am guardedly hopeful.

                          We'll see. Iowa's a weird state in that the left it does have is very liberal. It's a state with no middle. That may actually help when the country as a whole realizes Republican ideas are horse hockey.

                                Wisconsin has a very strong progressive tradition, and our liberals are also very liberal, so I have to believe we can come back.

                                But there's that paradox: The likes of Bob Lafollette on one hand:

                                As governor, La Follette championed numerous progressive reforms, including the first workers' compensation system, railroad rate reform, direct legislation, municipal home rule, open government, the minimum wage, non-partisan elections, the open primary system, direct election of U.S. Senators, women's suffrage, and progressive taxation. He created an atmosphere of close collaboration between the state government and the University of Wisconsin in the development of progressive policy, which became known as the Wisconsin Idea. The goals of his policy included the recall, referendum, direct primary, and initiative. All of these were aimed at giving citizens a more direct role in government.

                                The Wisconsin Idea promoted the idea of grounding legislation on thorough research and expert involvement. To implement this program, La Follette began working with University of Wisconsin–Madison faculty. This made Wisconsin a "laboratory for democracy" and "the most important state for the development of progressive legislation".[2] As governor, La Follette signed legislation that created the Wisconsin Legislative Reference Library (now Bureau) to ensure that a research agency would be available for the development of legislation.

                                And Joe McCarthy and Scott Walker on the other.
