Now that I'm at a computer - that image of Romney angers me terribly. That was taken in the final days of the election, where Romney made everyone believe he could take Ohio. Ugh. Sorry for the digression. Good biography, I'll send over a welcome letter in a bit. :)

Not to be that guy, but you can't have been from Ohio's 15th since 2001. That's where I was from before I became President.

Eh, I'm not going to quibble. I've never actually cared about the overlap except for technical purposes and in this case you two are no longer sharing districts. Biographies are for character development, not for the administrator to quibble over who was what. I mean, per se, if you insist, I can say he can claim Ohio 16, which is the same demographically.

That's fine with me. For game purposes it just wouldn't make sense for him to have been Ohio 15's Congressman when I was. Or he can change it to 2013-present instead of changing it to the 16th, but it's up to him.
