Quick & Dirty Analysis:Again, another Indiana republican voting with the winning legislation at least 87% of the time. 3 our of 3 so far. As I've said before, if you're happy with what Congress is doing I guess you can like it. But it's hard to find people happy with Congress these days and Buyer is yet another rubber stamp.
