1. I love Lloyd!

He is as good as we can get. He's a wonderful Congressman and he's always very responsive. I would love to see Lloyd on a ticket.

I worked for his last campaign. The pukes stole him from me as my Congressman but damned if we were going to lose him in Congress. He now represents my Mother in the Valley. Oh well, at least we still get to keep him in the family.

His whole family is wonderful.
