Mixed feelings about the other. I know some who are trying to push the envelope, just to cause trouble. (If they law wasn't there, maybe they wouldn't try to run) In one case, he was allowed to run, but was told that if he won, he would not be seated. I'm glad he didn't get very far in the race. It was a special election which the governor set up with an R advantage.
