He faced an uphill battle long before the fraud reports blew up nationally and there were many in the party who felt he WhiskeyGrinder Jan 5 #19

I despise this, but when you put it that way it's a service to his constituents at great cost to himself. As I said Scrivener7 Jan 5 #36

Exactly right. It wasn't just the GOP shit-stirrers; there has been a lot of criticism locally, Ocelot II Jan 5 #37

Flanagan gets Klobuchar's seat and Angie Craig runs for Tina Smith's seat in November. Ocelot II Jan 5 #53

Yup, my bet, too obamanut2012 Jan 5 #56

What about seniority? I am not familiar with this but question everything Jan 5 #59

I said this same thing to my wife last night obamanut2012 Jan 5 #51

Sigh. That absolutely sucks. I hope he still stays involved. Jbraybarten Jan 5 #45
