So Scott Beason is thinking of running against Spencer Bachus

For whom does a reasonable citizen root for in a race like that?

A Democrat has little chance in that district.

Bachus said not long ago that the duty of the House Banking Committee is to "serve the banks."

And of course, Beason is infamous for calling black people "aborigines" on government tapes... when he was the one wearing the wire!

I don't have a vote in this potential race, but tell me what my "Sophie's choice" should be if I did.

As I understand it, Beason may have his eye on the Governor's job at some point.

Sad we have no Dems in position to compete.
