We don't see much of him, other than on C-SPAN, out here in the hinterlands. He is the embodiment of a true Statesman and I wish we had his kind in my state. I'm stuck with Tester and that sheep-rancher adulterer... Baucus. Both are pretty much bought and paid for by ranching, coal and oil interests. At least we got rid of Rheberg in the House.

I grew up with horrible abuse so I won't be watching the video ad but it it's a sad statement that our federal representatives... and I use that term loosely... have a hard time getting it when it comes to this issue. And the part about Native American women and they can't see that they are far more likely to be abused, especially by white men... they have no business being in office IMHO.
