You needn't worry about him. Traxler, a long-time opponent of the Space Program, has already announced that he is not running for reelection. He's the one who got mugged on Capitol Hill awhile back.

Applause, applause... thanks, Steve, that's the best thing I could've heard. :-) I know not everybody agrees with me, but they're perfectly free to vote for Traxler. ;-) >He's the one who got mugged on Capitol Hill awhile back.
