Further, you can’t say that Reynolds didn’t help out his constituency. You may not have agreed with him politically, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t use his position to help out his district. Far from it.

I agree that if they worst thing the Lee campaign has done is use stock photos, it’ll be an uphill struggle for the Dems …

But you seem to ignore the other point made … that Tom Reynolds was a man of extraordinary power in DC … and he used all his political capital to try to get re-elected … and to get other Republicans elected (which he failed at during the last go round).

For the amount of clout Reynolds had in DC – during which he had a Republican president and a Republican Congress (both houses) – he should have been able to snap his fingers and help out his constituency.

He didn’t. He failed us.

If Tom Reynolds endorsement carried so much weight, it should make you wonder why he’s not running for re-election himself.

Frankly, I’d be much more likely to vote for Chris Lee if Reynolds HADN’T endorsed him.

I wonder how many other voters in the 26th would agree with me.
