Two years ago he pulled off a political miracle by defeating an entrenched politician in a safe blue congressional district.
A week later his wife packed up their kids and moved 2000 miles away from the district to advance her "career". Absolutely she sabotaged his political career. He lost his second election, in large part because he obviously has no connection with his district.
So what's he going to do now?
Yup, chippy is going to be a stay at home dad and devote himself to tending the kids and supporting her wife in her career.
Liberal Fairie tales can come true it can happen to you....
That is one way to look at it. Another way to look at it is to see a family following the market and making their money in business and not in politics.
A sad family Christmas story. : (
Poor guy couldn’t even finish a speech without cravaacking up ...
Absolutely true. I live in his district and contributed to both of his campaigns. The only, repeat: ONLY, communications I had from him during his entire two years in office were boilerplate requests for more money. No news, no policy statements, no suggestions or platforms for the future......just send $$$$ or Pelosi might be Speaker again. Yes, he's a conservative, but was also ineffective and out of his league.
I sure hope you’re missing a sarcasm tag.
What a horrible post. Trace Craavack’s career is well documented for anyone with the willingness to look, and their son’s autism was shamelessly demogogued by the man about to become one of the biggest horse’s asses in the United States Congress, Rick Nolan.
Part of the reason for Craavack’s downfall was redistricting. I believe that he could, and probably would, have won the 8th CD of 2010.
I too live in the 8th CD and Craavack has been an outstanding representative for me.
Reo, I met him personally on three occasions during his term, received weekly e-mail communication from him (not on Facebook) and took part in his electronic town halls. He did a magnificent job communicating with constituents, especially those who wanted to communicate with him.
