it's not a matter of term limits...well, ok, I suppose that would fix it....but remember that would fix the politicians you like, too.
In this situation it's a matter of Strauss had an opponent that absolutely no one knew about. the guy had a few signs and I don't believe ran any ads. no one knew anything about him....and this isn't the first time he's run, that's the sad thing, he's run against him before, I recognized his name from his sign. I live less than 2 miles away from Strauss's district. I'd love to be able to vote against him, I'd love to help this other guy campaign, but I didn't know he was running again until it was too late. I can only assume the problem is financial.
