Did you hear Crystal Ball's rant on the Cycle asking Hillary not to run?

190. Who gives a s*** what Krystal Ball says?

I live in Virginia's First Congressional District, represented by a do-nothing Republican, Rob Wittman.

I am not impressed by Krystal Ball. She's a little smarter than Sarah Palin -- but not much.

A few years ago, we had a strong candidate ready to challenge Wittman, Scott Robinson, a retired Army colonel. Krystal Ball imported a pile of out-of-state money, paraded around the district with her cute little daughter, and bought off the 1st District Democratic Committee to win the nomination. She lost to Wittman in a landslide -- something like 65 - 35. Robinson had been polling within a few % points of Wittman; had strong support among the military and veterans, who make up a major portion of the district's voters; he was working hard on retail politics -- making the rounds of civic clubs, churches, wherever voters congregated. Krystal Ball, on the other hand, schmoozed with the out-of-touch officers of the First District Democratic Committee Executive Committee, who responded by seeing to it that she was the nominee
