Poll: Bachmann in danger

[MineralMan]

34. If Graves pulls off a win in this district,

I hope everyone will remember that for the next four years. Graves is a middle-of-the-road Democrat. Some might call him a blue dog Democrat. If he manages to beat Bachmann in that heavily Republican district, I will be forever grateful. Graves will vote with the Democratic caucus in Congress, but he's probably not going to be a constant progressive voice.

A blue dog is always better than a rabid dog. Truly. It's a lesson we forgot in 2010. It has hurt us all.

My Congresswoman is Betty McCollum. She is a solid, staunch progressive, and the people in her district chose her for that reason. Michelle Bachmann's district is far from similar to the district I live in. We're all working to replace Bachmann. When and if we do, we need to remember who she is and help her replacement out when we can.
