* This candidate's opponent is not just a congressman but also a real estate speculator who bought some worthless land, earmarked an $8 million dollar road to his new property and then sold it for a $450,000 profit a few months later.
* Now a multimillionaire, he knows more about auto theft than anyone in Congress since he has stolen so many autos himself.
* What candidate wrote a book about a famous rapper?
* His opponent, a Christmas-tree farmer, got into Congress and immediately offered a resolution to commend... yes, Christmas tree farmers.
* This roly-poly incumbent was arrested in his car with a drug-addicted prostitute giving him head.
* This unimportant congressional figure spent nearly one day in three on the links for all of 2009.
* This candidate is a direct linear descendant of a Prophet of God.
* Her opponent was disqualified from being the head of the Intelligence Committee because she was caught in an act of espionage for another nation; still not arrested, though.
* Her opponent was the chair of Lieberman for President, but she doesn't put that on her resume much.
* This 16-term congressman steered hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarks in exchange for contributions to his campaign committee and PAC but had the clout to get rid of two consecutive U.S. attorneys looking into the little matter.
* This guy was just denied a contest against an ex-congressman arrested while driving drunk to visit his second family in the Virginia suburbs. (Hint: there are no Mormons in this story.)
* He's the only member of the Republican House leadership who voted against Bush's no-strings-attached bailout for Wall Street banksters on both September 29 and October 3, 2008.
* Several Democrats can say they were Bush's "favorite Democrat," but only this one agreed to co-sponsor his bill to gut Social Security.
* Tuesday there's a bona fide progressive running against a conservative corporate shill in a closely contested runoff for an Arkansas House seat. Who's the conservative corporate shill?
* A staunch advocate of "Drill, Baby, Drill" and a protector of Wall Street banksters, this far right Republican managed to beat a blind rabbi in 2008 and will face an active member of the New York Guard this year.
* Another Palin-endorsed candidate flopped spectacularly Tuesday night. Who did Palin want her sadly underperforming candidate to run against in November?
* Which Democratic congressman in New York has drawn the most primary challengers?
* There are quite a few rock musicians in Congress, but this is the only one who was ever in a big band with a real smash hit (which he wrote).
* In 2008 this clown almost lost his election to a no-nonsense Democrat who is challenging him again. So this year fear got the better of him, and he just changed to another district.
* When it comes to key issues and tight votes, this guy has crossed the aisle to vote with the Republicans more frequently than any other Democrat.
