He's not the type to raise hell... I doubt he'd do that. He likes to get along with people but he's principled.

He'll certainly stand up to the whips behind closed doors.

I asked him on twitter if he'll reject the whips overtures and he said yes. He also confirmed to me something about foreign policy but I can't remember. This was early in his primary.

You never know, people don't forget being dragged around like he was very easily. A politician going from Governor to a House Rep. is quite a step down think about it. I suspect he has got some hell raising to do

maybe we could post the links here, and any topical commentary in the much longer one

if someone has a really good streaming link, it helps the people who are about to go online

When the victory becomes official someone should start a minibomb for Gunny thread and we can celebrate by posting donation receipts. I'll check back and post mine in the next couple of hours.

at the risk of a headline like DEWEY WINS in 1948, there is also a victory thread here...
