nobodies as you've shown or almost laughable characters, i've seen this before. i actually saw it before in the state of illinois when barack obama ran for the u.s. senate. and all of his sort of real and likely both democratic challengers and then a very sort of eligible republican challenger imploded. and he ended up running against alan keys. i don't think that there's any sort of fate going on here, there is an interesting sort of comparison where for some reason this group, and i don't think it's just some reason, i think it's because you have a strong incumbent here. the really strong challengers are sitting it out. they figure in four years is a much better opportunity for them than this one. >> a brave guest, thank you very much. i appreciate it. we'll be right back. the home farming movement. join us at homefarming.com. my vet thinks my insides are in mint condition.
