Townhall Northern Virginia almost entertaining if it wasn't so serious

I watched on CSPAN the townhall meeting of the 8th district of Virginia (D.C. area). I nearly felt sorry for Rep. Moran as he became so flustered with some of the audience. Gov. Dean, M.D. was there to assist him, but became so technical at times with some answers that the audience seemed bewildered. When the proponents of the house bill on health reform applauded, whistled and screamed, Rep. Moran allowed them all the time they wanted. But when the opponents wanted to be heard, of course, he shushed them up. I give respect and credit to Rep. Moran for being there... that's more than the representative from the southern part of Virginia has done - which is the largest city in the state. Boo-hoo - no townhall to go to. No-show Senators or representative for my district - and all three are younger than Rep. Moran who obviously was happy to get the townhall meeting over with. Is your rep and senators no-show?

I know I was watching the 11:00 news and nobody would shut up and listen to what he had to say.So,what was the point of even showing up there? Yeah,I give him respect and credit for being there.If it were me I would had walked off the platform and left!
