Boehner's district.

Is anyone familiar with Boehner's district?
Is it so deeply red that this crap he's doing is making him a hero?

They keep talking about being scared of a primary with a more conservative candidate but is it certain that a tea party hardliner is always going to win?
Especially now with this major disaster the tea party is orchestrating?

It's really mind boggling.

Avoids Dayton and Cincinati - looks like it is gerrymandered. I don't know how red his area is; my guess is he's pretty safe. A congresscritter who has been in power that long has brought home plenty of bacon.

That area of the state is very conservative.
