Gibbons for 3rd CD?

I've heard that he is looking at the race. It makes sense. He's in his last term, so he might be looking at his future. But his term doesn't end until 08. So if he lost he'd still have another shot at continuing his political career.

His position in Jefferson City should make fundraising a little easier. His positions on the social issues could play well in Jeff Co, and if he can win his home turf of St. Louis County, the math looks pretty good.

Republicans could do worse for a 3rd CD candidate.

I don't think he lives in the third district. But, according to our Constitution you don't have to live in your district to serve, so he could still run. You're right about Jefferson County --- Federer beat Russ there. But, I don't think the folks out there want their Social Security touched. jmc4congreass

Very fine Joan!

You are correct. He is in the 2nd District. Well, now I'm short one rumor. Anyone got anything for me?
