“Suppose you were an idiot – and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”
-Mark Twain.
Quoth Wiki, in a fit of biased reporting, on Ohio's 14th congressional district, which LaTourette represents:
"The boundaries were carefully drawn by the legislature to create a safe Republican seat in the usually Democratic Cleveland and Akron metro areas. Thus, the district is primarily exurban in character, avoiding cities and closer-in suburbs."
I guessing they have tea parties there, but no critical masses. Just a guess. Doesn't sound like he'll run into much trouble with his SUV-driving constituency.
