He has a challenger<\/a> for his seat in the House:<\/p>\n

Fresh off being named the most attractive member of Congress <\/a>by The Hill<\/em> newspaper, Rep. Brad Ellsworth<\/strong> (D-Ind.) has his first Republican challenger for 2008: Indiana State University lobbyist Greg Goode<\/strong>. Goode, 34, also served as an aide to former GOP Reps. Brian Kerns and Ed Pease.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Actually, that should be the most beautiful person on the Hill<\/a>. I hope this guy is good looking, cause evidently that matters<\/a>.
\nUpdate: Here’s<\/a> some ammo for his challenger:<\/p>\n

The Farm Bill that passed the House today (231-191) contained far more weighty matters than the non-binding anti-obesity resolution. It also contained a tax increase of somewhere between $6 billion and $7.8 billion on the U.S. subsidiaries of foreign corporations. This could possibly threaten the jobs of tens of thousands of Americans and discourage multinationals from establishing a presence in the United States. It’s also a corporate income tax hike, which will ultimately be paid for by higher consumer prices.
\nAmericans for Tax reform informed all the members of the House who have taken Taxpayer Protection Pledge, that a vote for this bill would break their pledge. Nonetheless, several members showed bad faith to the taxpayers. All four Democratic pledge signers broke their promise – and for all four, it was the second time they have done so in seven months. That includes Rep. Brad Ellworth (D, Ind.) (The Hill’s #1 most beautiful person on Capitol Hill), Ben Chandler (D-Ky.), Gene Taylor (D-Miss.), and Rob Andrews ( D-N.J.).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He may be pretty but he’s a promise-breaker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
