Your sarcasm is noted. And it isn't me who is touting this race as a litmus test for the effect of the House passing the Ryan budget. Many of those who ware doing so are Republican, and this does indeed worry them.
"As it should, since this is a solidly Republican district."
And far from the only Republican district that is effected. Many others had constituents go meet their representatives waving torches and pitchforks over the Ryan Budget.
And older peole are fairly well immune to lie advertizements when special interests pour in money for spots trying to paint a budget that kills Medicare as being out to save it.
