Sseriously. April fool’s day.
Yeah, so I’ve got a foolish question: Bob Goodlatte campaigned on term limits when he won office in 1992, saying he would serve a maximum of 12 years, why is he still running for the office?
And I’ll ask a dead serious one too:

Just a reminder about the debate Tuesday.
I hope you can attend!
The debate will also be broadcast on City Span. (Comcast Cable Channel 3)
