Why people don't vote, No. 786: The GOP E-Brief chides Democratic Tracy Velazquez, running for Denny Rehberg's seat in the U.S. House, for "bragging up" the NCAA championships by basketball teams from her home state of Connecticut.

"Though Valezquez has good reason to be proud of her favorite Connecticut athletic programs," the E-Brief says, "it would be nice for her to show a little enthusiasm for some Montana sports teams as well."

What a great thing it is to live in a state with so few problems that political parties can spend their time worrying about the favorite sports teams of political opponents.
