Idaho's Teflon Congressman 7/21/2008 A few days back, I attached the less-than-original nickname "Teflon" to our 2nd District congressman, Mike Simpson. Here's why. Fellow Republican Rep.

I encourage you all to read 'Earnest Earmarks' , co-written by Senator Larry Craig and Representative Mike Simpson several years ago, as well as the response from Reason Magazine. I agree with Congressman Simpson that earmarks have a place in our system. And I notice that Craig and Simpson concede that some reform is necessary. read more »

At first glance, the easy victory Tuesday by Rep. Mike Simpson in the Republican primary for Idaho’s 2nd District wouldn't appear to have much relevance to space policy: Simpson doesn't represent a “space state” and doesn't serve on the House Science and Technology Committee nor the Commerce, Justice, and Science subcommittee of the House Appropriations [...]

U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson hasn't faced a Republican primary challenger since 1998, but neither of his two challengers in the 2nd District seem intimidated by his political experience, financial backing or decade of experience in the House of Representatives.
