    Hell… many of us are breathing with a sigh of relief.

    Our rebuild has eaten almost $350K, and there’s another $90K coming. If we do something, we do it RIGHT.

    Cade, I thought exactly the same thing, but was made so happy by the sane 74 that I chose not to dwell on the rotten 5. In any case, the 5 are: Barrasso (R-WY), Corker (R-TN), DeMint (R-SC), Gregg (R-NH) and Kyl (R-AZ). Figures (all except for South Carolina).
