Down here we don't live inside of some kind of liberal progressive bubble where we don't know exactly how whacked out our neighbors and associates are.

We'll be seeing Rep. Martha Roby Thursday grilling Hillary on the Benghazi Committee. Judge for yourself how centrist and moderate she is.

Wetumpka Tea Party founder Becky Gerritson challenges Martha Roby for Congress

She characterized her candidacy as a grassroots challenge to the Washington establishment.

"I think one of the things that separates me from my opponent is that she has not been listening to her constituents," Gerritson told a small crowd at a Montgomery restaurant.

"And being a grassroots conservative, I've been working with the people on the ground for six years and I feel like I have my finger on the pulse of how they feel.

"I want to go to Washington and help our voice be heard because we are not getting the representation that we need in District 2."
