Today’s Loser | Bob Goodlatte
No longer the ranking Republican on the House Agriculture Committee. And you’re effective for us in Washington … how, again?

What’s your point Chris?
To reiterate … Bob Goodlatte is effective for us in Washington, how, again?
Ok, how would a freshman congressman who can barely find his way from the Rayburn House Office Building to the House Chamber be all that effective either? The only ineffective that Mr. Goodlatte can have from your point of view is his political party.
A freshman congressman who could barely find his way to his office could at least get somebody to listen to his ideas while in Congress. Party, in the case of Goodlatte, isn’t the issue. He couldn’t get anything done when Republicans were in the majority.
If Mr. Goodlatte is so ineffective than why dose he continue to win his set back? Your paper bent over backward to tell us that the area was “going blue”, But Mr. Goodlatte won by a fairly substantial margin. Chris, I have no problem with partisanship; in fact I think it’s the lack of partisanship that can turn a free state into a totalitarian régime. I just think your opinion of Mr. Goodlatte is based in partisan ideology. He is ONE of the few local office holders of either party that I have had a favorable encounter with.
Great. You had a favorable encounter with him. Good for him. He knows constituent service. But what is he doing for the Sixth? He couldn’t even get things done when the GOP was in the majority. What can we expect him to do now?
