I think it will be 2012 that sees the resurgence of TTBO politics in a big way.

I don’t care how gerrymandered districts are, there’s nothing on the horizon that will allow congress to get out of single digit approval ratings as a body. Old conventional wisdom was that voters railed about the “other” congressmen/senators but always come back to their own incumbent.

Not here in Utah. Rep. Cannon lost his primary (and I voted against him), and the other off- year incumbents of both parties are already looking at challengers appearing on the horizon.

I’m going to vote McCain. And probably throw up in the parking lot afterward.
