As of today, Jim Graves is going to indefinitely suspend his campaign for Congress from the 6th District.
Translation: He is not running. He is dropping out of politics to concentrate on his family and his business.
~SNIP~
“Basically, after all that’s gone on, and with Michele Bachmann now stepping down, I’ve been talking to my friends and family and frankly, the feeling is, ‘Mission Accomplished.’ She wasn’t representing the people of the 6th District appropriately, and now she won’t be representing them. There’s no way anyone could run and win who would be worse than Michele Bachmann. So we accomplished that task.”

Is there an excellent conservative available to run in that district? Another RINO in Congress would please the Corruptocrats and their lapdog media, but it’s not what we need in Congress.

I heard a Dem strategist talking about Bachmann’s announcement. She said, when a politician announces this early that they are pulling out, it basically means that they know they can’t win. I wonder if she would say the same thing about Graves.

Tarryj Clark, the perpetual losing carpetbagger will probably move into the district in time to run.

Yeah because we should always believe the dem strategists who only want what's best for us.
Bachmann still holds the office for some 18 more months and she wouldn't announce leaving out of fear of losing a race a year and a half away. I personally think she's looking toward another office. If not a national office, Minnesota could sure use a better SOS.

Thanks. Local newspapers assume readers outside their immediate geographical area know the background. Often, with some place names, we don’t even know which state the story took place.

“Tom Emmer.”
YES. I heard him on the radio program the other day, and callers were encouraging him to consider this. I think he would win the contest easily.
