3. I never realized how differently the two Houses differ

until my Congressman recently took us into the House chamber and was explaining some of the differences.

16. Too busy campaigning...like McCain

And an abstention is a convenient way to duck responsibility--can't be criticized by either side that way.

75. yeah, he's GOP...and from one of those big square states out west.

My son worked for a Washington Senator (Cantwell) last year which is probably the only reason I knew
Smith wasn't from WA. I learned, among other things, that WA, just like Maine, has two "girl" senators.

Oregon is like WA in many ways...the coastal areas tend blue but the rural eastern parts of those states tend red, like their neighbors Idaho and Utah.
