Incumbents

Several US Senators are coming to CT to stump for Joe (AP, by Andrew Miga). And while I have no problem with that, it does reinforce my feeling that the US Senate is basically interested in maintaining comity. The Super 100 don't like newcomers. They like to keep their club closed. And they (along with many other political bodies) will do whatever they can to return incumbents to office... damn conservative or liberal values. Incumbency is what is important.

And this blog isn't intended to reflect poorly on our Senator. It's intended to reflect poorly on the body politik. And it's why I respect Senators Tom Coburn and Russ Feingold. They're clearly not in DC to make other Senators happy.
