What was the biggest snafu of 2006? When Beauprez decided to GIVE UP a Congressional seat for a chance at Governor. Because then we lost both.
But it looks like we haven’t learned our lesson; YET AGAIN we have candidates who are giving up one seat with the hope of earning another. Clue to those not term-limited: save your arrows and earn more badges. 2010 isn’t going to be the cake-walk you’ve been led to believe.
I don’t see anyone on the list giving up a seat, save perhaps Nancy Doty. Penry, who is not on this list, has a safe seat anyhow.

Why would Frazier and Buck get to keep these positions? Term limits? Off years? I’m seriously asking.
after this fall. Don’t know about Buck, but I would guess it’s an off year, as other DAs were on the ballot in 2008.
You’re so helpful today. You’ve saved me looking up three things now.
The answers to the questions you’ll have later this evening are: 1) Tom Tancredo 2) in the Parlour 3) with the Pipe Wrench. Hope that clears everything up!
