1. That race was a real disappointment.

She is a nut job.

2. Bummer. I really hoped he'd win - and he almost did.

Still, it was damn close, and he made her spend a whole buttload of money. Maybe next time?

4. when she defeated Patty Wetterling

I said maybe next time...
when she defeated Tarryl Clark, I said maybe next time...
when she defeated El Tinklenberg, I said maybe next time...
arggghhhh
Maybe Graves was too nice, we need someone to go medieval on her ass.

6. The 6th district is full of wingnuts

and after redistricting it might be even worse. But Graves has been the best candidate so far, and maybe Michelle is fading a bit after making a colossal ass of herself in the GOP primaries. I hope he tries again in two years.

3. Oh well, we had a great night!

5. Bachman ended up outspending Graves by about a 10-1 ratio (about $20 million to $2 million). n/t

7. She may have won but 'has had the wind taken out of her sails.

Just squeaked by - is damaged goods.

[and-justice-for-all]

8. She is fucking atrocious!!

and a part of the problem...she makes me ill.

9. Darn. Oh, well.

Michelle Bachmann is such a liability for the Republican Party and the Tea Party movement, maybe it's okay if she hangs around just a little while longer.
