Media impact on the special election

[Dan.Strassberg]

Are you sure??? I'm not on a position to declare that you are wrong
but what you're saying makes little sense to me. I'd appreciate a
reference. If you are correct, why aren't all representatives
elected at-large instead of being voted on only in their "own"
districts? I remember that, some years ago, a small state that had
three representives (might have been Montana--but that's strictly a
guess) had only two congressional districts. Each voter voted on the
rep for his/her district AND the representative at-large, who
represented the entire state. People used to half-jokingly refer to
the at-large rep as the state's "third senator."
