So is anyone going to run against Art Torres?
Certainly there's a liberal out there who could use a job. Art's a conservative.

1. Why
Why do you say that Torres is a conservative?

2. He backed DNA testing of arrestees (not criminals) & other issues
Within the Democratic Party he has a history of quorum calls when the party gets too far away from his conservative roots. He appoints all members of the resolution committee and they seem to like Bush's appointments. Torres claims to be a close friend of Michael Powell and said that Powell would not support any bad rules.

3. He also prefered attacking Bush over telling people what Dems stand for
however, some might be interested to hear that he seems to like Dean.
