even the best candidates, in my view, should not be in Congress for life. And Pallone has already been in for 26 years!

I'd kinda like to see a term limit of 12 years, so seeing a lifer kinda curdles my milk a little bit.

As for that other guy (I don't even like to name the opposition, gives them publicity). Politics1 calls him a "frequent candidate" which said to me "not a serious contender". But if he is a frequent candidate who wins primaries, then that makes him somewhat formidable. Although many voters may just wonder "what part of 'no' does he not understand?"
