Bob Vanwicklin for congress!!! Chief of Staff to Amo Houghton and Randy Kuhl for 17 years, current Navy intelligence officer, born and raised in the district, worked on behalf of this congressional district his entire professional career and now is working at a college that I work for in the Southern Tier. Sounds like a good hybrid of everyone who has run in the past!

How about a virtual unknown? People are tired of the same party anointed being put forward. A truly bold choice would be someone we've never heard of, someone who energizes voters and has zero ties to established politicians and political machines. This is the Republican's election to lose. Dems would gain more press and attention if they run an unknown than if they run an established name. If they find a vet to run, all the better as no Republican would dare to question a vet on national security credentials. A lot of the Dems who are throwing their hats in the ring seem to be doing so because its just the next thing for them, the natural expansion of their political power. The last thing voters want is someone who's running because its the next logical step. The 29th needs a non-politician, someone who isn't worried about re-election, but is rather willing to sacrifice political expedience in order to make the tough choices that best serve the district.

The reps whom ever they run will still be not someone I would vote for. why? Because I see the reps as fools who only want to line their own pockets. Now the dems they are not any better. If someone would run a write in who was a true forward thinking person and had an envirnmental agenda that said we need to look after our planet a lot better then maybe I would vote for that person.
