True story.
Couple of local conservatives ran in my district in MI. They won, they are rib-rocked tea party types going to the state house and senate.
One of my buds ran into one of their Dem challengers @ his mom's house which had one of the rib-rock signs in her yard :-) .
He had a pleasant chat with her and asked her, her chances, she isn't a loon, a rather nice lady and she said this : I did what I thought was right, but frankly this is a title wave, and I don't think I am gonna make it.
They know.....
Yeah.... They DO !!!
