In TN we have a decent congresstional delegation and a couple of RINOS as senators.
What about your state legislature ?
The GOP is supposed to be about local politics.
oh the state legislature is FINALLY republican. in 2008 we had a 1 seat majority, first time we had a majority in the house (so it's my contention that the dixiecrats did not join the republican part since we got a majority after say 40 years of Nixon's southern strategy)
But we finally got it in 2008 and kent williams, sold us out. He got every democrat to vote for him for speaker, so they could split the committee chairmenships. In 2010 we elected more republicans and he's no longer the speaker..
Williams was elected as speaker of the Tennessee House on January 13, 2009, in a surprising divergence from the Republican party's accepted plan for succession. Democrats, who had lost the majority in the House for the first time since 1969, threw their support behind Williams as a means of keeping House Majority Leader Jason Mumpower out of the office.[7][8][9] Williams, one of 50 Republicans in the 99-seat House, voted for himself alongside the assembly's 49 Democrats to clinch the position, defeating Mumpower by a vote of 50 to 49.[10] Outgoing speaker Jimmy Naifeh instructed the House clerk to depart from the normal practice of conducting a roll call of the members in alphabetical order, instead calling first on the Democrats, then on the Republicans. This allowed Williams to vote last, so that before he voted he knew that his vote for himself would be the deciding vote. After the vote he was booed[10] and called a "traitor." Subsequently, Williams voted with the Democrats to elect Democrat Lois DeBerry as speaker pro-tem over Republican Beth Harwell.
And this is why I love playing with liberals that just soak up the indoctrination of racial politics....they dont know anything about the "southern" strategy, except what their teachers tell them, and they arent biased...naaaaaaaaah
We have our first Dem congressman ever, Andrew Cuomo looks like a good bet for 2016. None of the things you've heard about the Empire State are true, dupes. We're #1. Since Cal went Hispanic.

Can you believe that our local Democrats pulled an "Alvin Greene"? How do you vote for someone that you know nothing about? 48,000 people no less.
My congressperson is Marcy Kaptur and Senator Sherrod Brown. Marcy beat Dennis Kucinich in the primary and will easily hold her seat. Sherrod is polling very well and is expected to hold his seat as well. Sherrod is being bombed with attack ads but they aren't working here.
Love them both.
I don't know. I'll have to download the app to find out where the Dems are.
LOL....I think they have that app so you can organize swinger parties better
Here in Nevada, we've been stuck with Harry Reid.
But, so has the rest of the country.................
Thanks to the teabaggers, I hope more gain traction to assure more easy dem wins
Can I point something out, here, gang?
I'm hearing, "I love them both" and other platitudes and raves about your Congress-Critters and Sin-a-tors.
But ya know what?
They're the biggest part of what is wrong with our system of government, Republican and Democrat alike.
We all come here, on a daily basis, and bitch about this, that and the other about the *other* party.
But few want to admit that their own party is the problem.
I got news for ya.
THEY BOTH ARE THE PROBLEM.
Congressional approval ratings are 1% higher than kitten-strangings, and we're here saying that we're happy with OUR representatives??
WTF, people????
I'm probably going to end up voting for Tim Mahoney over Tom Rooney (Google them and you'll see the stark difference) and you guys think everything's sunshine and fucking rainbows?????
All I can say is you deserve what you get.
Sorry

I like mine, too, but I'm ready to vote him out.
2 terms is the limit for me.
Luckily, Rubio's only on his first
