She ran in 2012 and barely lost to Matheson. With the way the wind is blowing, Matheson must have decided it wasn’t worth a losing effort this time around. There are several more Rats in districts that went for Romney. They’re an endangered species - esp. those who voted for Obamacare.

Is weed that damn important? Evidently, to libertarians it is.

I read that the first date she had with her husband was to a shooting range. Thumbs up!

She probably would have won anyway, but she’s going to rip DC a new one in 2015. The Dims are going to scream, but there’s nothing they can do to stop her.

Good question.

I went back and read the article, and can’t actually tell.

"Love already has raised at least $475,000 and has an established campaign."

Kinda sounds like it.

Id like to know her stance on amnesty. Some Mormons are hardcore open borders. Flake and Hatch are open borders.

Matheson’s record in Congress has been improving, moving him into the fourth best Democratic immigration-reduction grade over the last four years. For example, he bucked Speaker Nancy Pelosi in 2010 and voted against the DREAM Act amnesty.

If she decides to join, she will certainly shake up the Congressional Black Caucus.
