Glass House

I think this guy is what I call a "Burnout." His political career has reached a standstill of sorts. And he has to keep his name out there somehow. There is nothing else for him to run for except maybe congress. He managed to escape the Tennessee Waltz, probably because he wasn't well connected. He's just scrambling for one last hoo-rah. He is another official that has been in office forever, and hasn't done anything of note. He tries to hang Steve Cohen out to dry about his record of service. But I would suggest he take an equally critical look at his own. To have been in office for twenty years and have no one of good standing contribute money to your campaign. Regardless how he spins it, is not a good thing. This guys refusal to give a straight forward answer. Doesn't look good for him. He should have some citizens or family members if no one else. He claims it's because he won't take special interest money. It's probably because no one has offered him any anyway. For your one distinction to be in the news. Is having some of the highest credit card charges of any representative on the hill. Doesn't leave you much room to talk. He should stage a good debate. He's had years to practice. Don't throw no stones. When you're living in a glass house.

    Joe Towns didn't even get 1000 votes. He didn't even give a concession speech.
