You obviously dont know what your talking about and it is obvious that you dont live here. Huffman is known in circles around here as the "weasel". His single endorsement of Graf was nothing more than words. Kolbe's boy is a disgusting liar and attack man who couldnt hold Graf's shoes.
This isnt about Kolbe having a "hissy fit" - Kolbe has made every opportunity to attack Graf.
Your response says it all, "versus backing a Republican in a district that's more favorable to us,"
Elitism has caused many a conservative to question the republican parties affiliation to American values. Its all about keeping power - while Rome burns. I shouldnt havet to remind you that, Republicans who vote with democrats are no different than a democrat.
You care not to support Republicans if they are not to your liking (you say they are no better than Democrats), but you are upset that Kolbe does not support a Republican that is not to his liking. I, contrariwise, hope that Kolbe will realize that, for the most part, we Republicans have treated him with respect, not because we liked him, but because of party loyalty.
I've met Kolbe on 3 occassions and found him to be good person.
Kolbe's dislike for graf probably comes from him running against him in the 2004 primary.
