"The incumbents have fired back in various newspaper articles and garnered support in high places. U.S. Rep. Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.), who is backing the incumbents, last week called the Republican slate "a nightmare.""
Oh please, Steny! This from the man who bucked his constituents to vote "No" to all 4 articles of impeachment against Clinton.

The Republican slate is no more of a "nightmare" than the Democratic one.
