what type of legislator is your congresscritter?

[HAnnA MArin County]

Jo Ann Emerson is more than likely a reluctant/backburner. I think she only ran because the Republican establishment in Cape Girardeau urged her to do so following the death of her husband, Bill Emerson (granted, she ran as an Independent the first time). Although she's remarried to a Democratic labor union guy named Ron Gladney and lives in St. Louis, I'd consider her one of the more sane Republicans in Washington following the teabagging of the Republican Party. She's reached across the aisle, and several Democrats here in the district vote for her because of her votes for agriculture, which is very big in rural Southeast Missouri. She's being teabagged by some unknown guy named Bob Parker, but this seat is hers to hold until she retires or dies. Jesus could run as a Democrat and would still lose to her in a landslide.
