(9,121 posts)I hope they try to 'out-progressive' each other, instead of 'out-regressive' each other. I was happy that Marcy Kaptur won against Kuchinich, because I thought he was very much like Al Sharpton, Bobby Rush, and James Trafficant.
I am currently unrepresented in the State Assembly, because my Congresswoman became the Allegheny County controller, and apparently left nobody in charge to vote Democratically for her. That swine repug Turzai is still trying to ship our district's seat to the Allentown area. But what's really funny to me, as a Dem taxpayer, is that our region keeps losing population and proportional representation, on the state and federal level, but we keep getting increasing taxes for property assessments. This violates the basic economic law of supply and demand. Less population equals less demand for real estate. But somehow, our real estate is much more valueable, though we get less and less governmental representation for our assessed tax dollars. Somewhat of a paradox.
