How to decide?

So it looks like the BIG NEWS in town lately is all about Congressman Bill Thomas resigning and who might be the next person to take his place. (I guess now that Bill has an airport terminal named after him, what else is there?) Thomas was a very powerful figure in Congress, which explains how he managed to stick around for 28 years.  

Kevin McCarthy has already announced that he will run to replace Congressman Thomas.  Senator Roy Ashburn is planning to run too.  Senator Dean Florez has said he’s not planning on running for the position, which means we have a choice between a Republican and a Republican.  

Something tells me the Republicans are going to win.
