Thanks for the information!

4. Matheson is from Utah (that's all you need to know right there)

McIntyre is a blue dog from North Carolina from a right-wing district. Pelosi probably told him to go ahead and vote in favor of repeal so his seat can remain Democratic.

5. There is actually a Democratic rep from Utah? How did that happen?

6. The Republicans nominated a black Mormon woman

Result: Democratic win by less than 2%.

7. Yup

Matheson won reelection by 768 votes. He margin of victory is 0.3%.

8. Yep, I remember!

But truth is, Matheson is a Republican wearing the Democratic label. I can't think of a single thing Matheson has backed the Democrats on (with the exception of voting for Pelosi to be Speaker).

9. Ah yes.. Big Bad Obamacare!

Scares the begeezus outta fox brainwashees.

thanks for the info on where they're from, BlueDemKev
