She looks guilty enough for that

I love Marsha and have spoken with her. She’s a solid conservative.

I’d rather she ran for the Senate so we could have a conservative senator in Tennessee.

I agree, but she would have a hard time against Lamar dollar-wise. And there’s another primary opponent, George Flinn, who has a lot of cash as well. In a three-way, it would probably be Lamar, and a loss in 2014 would deflate her chances in 2016.

I rather like her, too, but she’s a farking idiot if she’s trying to use an anonymous house seat as a platform for running for president! In my lifetime, dozens of house MERE members have run for president. NONE break 2 or 3% in the early races, unless they have some further claim to authority, such as being speaker (Gingrich, Gephard), or some higher office.

Although I respect and appreciate what Mrs. Blackburn has done for Tennessee, her endorsement and co-chir of the progressive RINO, Lamar Alexander’s re-election is a deal breaker for me.

Perhaps She has become one of the establishment politicians that she claims to fight against.

Sounds like she has a plan, then, to get national exposure...for future options.

Think VP. This may mean Cruz has selected her.

. . . And there are a couple of other candidates in the Lamar primary in addition to the ones I mentioned. I think she ought to keep her eye on 2016.

If that’s true, I’d like to hear more, although I think she is actually seek attention for a VP slot.

Surely you jest.

A great congresswoman to be sure....but she will get as far as Michele Bachmann. She has has practically 0% voter ID outside her district.

Thinking the same thing too. She doesn’t have name recognition now but getting the VP nod changes the equation for her. She obviously has presidential ambitions.

Bill Clinton's new squeeze down in Kentucky (running for Senate) is pretty cute:
