The 80-20 in the room /= his district. Only the majority of the people in the election represent his district. Obviously, town hall meetings are heavily biased towards the passionate. They can't be taken as evidence for voting for or against something in and of themselves.

That's why we have elections.
That's what polls are for...

Does anyone else see the irony in this Congressman's last name?

He is pretty weak. He got barely above 50% in the Democratic landslide years of 2006 and 2008, so unless they build up a little momentum before 2010 I'd expect him to lose.

He votes against them, they will return the favor, I am sure!

Legislators should vote in the interest of their nation, not their locality.
But I don't expect him to lose because of his comments, just because I don't expect the Democratic vote to be strong enough to carry him in 2010. But who knows, incumbent momentum may take him over the edge.

So basically he knows he's a lame duck so he's giving his constituency the finger.
