HECK’S HEDGE BET
Republican Rep. Joe Heck broke ranks with his GOP bretheren from Nevada in voting to end the government shutdown last week. It doesn’t take someone with an advanced poli-sci degree to point out that Heck will be seeking re-election in a congressional district that has an edge in registered Democrat voter edge, so not appearing to be a hard-line Republican is a smart move. One less thing Democrat challenger Erin Bilbray will be able to use against him.
