Hope he runs. He'd be better than the Republican currently holding the seat. Tatiana Feb 2018 #1

Yes, and he's running in my district in an already crowded field Rhiannon12866 Feb 2018 #2

And maybe he has some recognition from his old MSNBC show.

The Paul Ryan apologist we have now is very unpopular and, so far, 9 Democrats have declared to run against her - and one other Republican. I just hope that they're able to settle on one candidate and get behind him or her fairly soon. This is good news because back in the day the Democrats didn't even bother to field a candidate against the incumbent Republican. I'm also hoping that the Green candidate doesn't choose to run again since I'm afraid he took votes from the last Democrat.

Dylan reported on the Enron Scandal and was a blunt commenter later in 2008 on the financial crisis and corruption.

All hands on deck!
