Since then he's been the state's only congressman for fourteen years (it's so small - only the population of Oxfordshire - that they only get one). So he's a pretty sure fire bet. No Dems run against him and the Republican's a sure fire loser.</p> <p>His brother, Larry, is a Green party county councillor in Oxfordshire and a member of our board at <a href="http://www.oclt.org.uk/" target="_blank">Oxfordshire Community Land Trusts</a>.</p> <p>It's the safest money you can put on tonight I'm sure...:)</p> http://www.jockcoats.org.uk/go_bernie#comments miscellany Wed, 08 Nov 2006 00:07:51 +0000 Jock 63 at http://www.jockcoats.org.uk
