Should Jo Ann Emerson Run as Independent?

Should U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson follow the lead of fellow RINO Republican Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and run as an independent in her re-election bid for Missouri's 8th Congressional District seat?

Should U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson follow the same path Florida Gov. Charlie Crist took and opt to run as an independent in her re-election bid for Missouri's 8th Congressional District seat? Several factors lead me to believe she should. For instance:

These actions by Emerson, a seven-term incumbent in a district that includes the Boot Heel and much of Southeast Missouri, closely parallel the path taken by Crist during his race against youthful Republican challenger Marco Rubio for the Sunshine State's U.S. Senate seat. For instance: I hope conservatives in Missouri's 8th CD consider carefully the implications of re-electing Emerson, a woman whose dossier also includes the following:

Other options for voters in the district include the following: Choose wisely, Boot Heelers!

Jo Ann Emerson is a conservative. Don’t forget that Jo Ann voted against Obama’s stimulus, Jo Ann voted against Pelosi’s healthcare bill, Jo Ann voted against Barbara Boxer’s cap and trade bill in the House and Jo Ann has taken a conservative stance on illegal immigration.

Jo Ann is a Republican because she is a conservative.

Bob, I think you should do a piece on the battle between Russ Carnahan and Ed Martin down in Dickie Gebhardts old district. I hope like hell that Martin smokes Carny’s butt.

Kabar,

Did you just borrow a comment posted beneath this post where it appears on my blog? Do you also go by the name “Jared”? Do you work for Rep. Emerson or the GOP? Are you Jared Craighead?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Bob

No, I just looked at the blog and pasted the comment posted. I wanted to get your reaction on the substance, not the source.

Most people I know are fed up with Joann but are not sure of Parker. I’ve heard it said that Bob just isn’t viable but maybe we can get her next time. Personally, I think Joann has over stayed her welcome and needs to accept the credit union job!
