Also, MN redistricting hasn’t happened yet but I doubt she’d have a tough reelection battle. If she does it will have nothing to do with her being born in Iowa.
I don’t know where they got their facts from, but I live just outside Michele’s district by a few miles and though she’s been under fire for many things, never once do I recall her being under fire for being born in Iowa.
Happy New Year FReepers!
Michele comes from a liberal state so it is much more difficult for her to stand up for her conservative principles. Perry gets a lot of praise for having a job making state, but Texas is a state that has a conservative population so he is really standing on the shoulders of the conservative Texas electorate who have enough sense not to kill the goose that lays the golden egg which is business. It is one thing to be a conservative governor of a conservative state it is quite another to represent a state that has had a long history of liberalism. I hope she makes it into the White House, though it certainly looks like a long shot. If she drops out of the race, I hope that she maintains her seat in the House, we need every person like her in Wasington. I have noticed that there are only a few fighters in the House and Senate. The go-along guys seem to control the whole show.
Maybe she fights hard because she is a woman and has to prove that she can do the job. She can also see that there is so much inertia in congress so she applies all of the energy that she has to move that big boulder of resistance to reform that dominates the culture of Washington.
