Do you remember a prez candidate ever openly demeaning another prez?

23. Here's what you do if you plan a trip to DC ...

You can contact you House Rep's office, and your Senator's office. Most of them will help you schedule activities of various types.

Kay Hagen thing is the Wednesday morning "Coffee with Kay", that's the actual name. And so you show up at like 9am, and you meet some of her staff, get some coffee, they talk to you some ... and then, you kind of move towards her office, almost like a line, but its less formal. And you get like 5-10 minutes to talk to her, take some pictures. I'm told that lots of senators do this. Once you get in the her Senate building, you can pretty much just walk around too. So call your Senator's office and they'll give you details on what they can do.

Our House rep David Price has his members of his staff give capitol tours. I think most House members rotate members of their staff to do this too. Usually, the staffer knows some special things about the capitol building, they'll show you things that are special to your state, famous reps, stuff like that. He also got how passes so we could sit in the House gallery. We got to see Boner gavel the House in session, and then leave, after which a few member of the House spoke on various issues ... got to see a few tea party nuts complain, got to see a couple Dems who's names I should recall talk about a couple issues like tax fairness and women's rights ... overall an interesting hour or so.

I agree on the GOP ... its imploding. Stewart nailed them in that clip. The remaining sane GOP members are hoping to ride out 2012 and the tea party, and then they plan to try to find the middle again for 2016. I don't think they can get back.

My hope, the tea party flips out after Romney looses.
