Well with Uncle Joe, he really needs to sh! t or get off the pot. Even if he does announce now, its going to be a bit anti-climatic. I can see him waiting until Hillary does the Ben Ghazi! thing but that committee is sinking faster than the Titanic. Even if she was guilt of.....what exactly is the crime again?....she's smarter than the entire committee combined and has a good chance of eating them alive. I also keep coming back to it, which is the optics of an obviously partisan Congressional committee continuing to haul female witnesses for public inquisitions in front of a 99% male panel.
Question is whether Hillary's campaign is mortally wounded. The vibe is she just can't move it onward. I still don't know that if Vermont Bernie gets into the finals...that he has a chance to win. His inability to get minorities is a double concern. For those reasons, I don't think its too late for Joe. But the time is now.
Watergate was a sham too until they found the smoking gun.Why would her campaign be mortally wounded? E-mail thing is shaping up to be a sham. Regardless of what one feels about her, do you really think she did anything incriminating after 25 years of being under intense scrutiny? I'm guessing probably not. If there was anything to be found, we would have heard about it already.

What did Hillary know and when did she know it?
On Monday, Jason Lewis tossed his hat into the ring for the MN Congressional District #2 race. The incumbent, John Klein - R, is retiring at the end of his term. Lewis, a radio talk show host with an extensive history in MN, and a national radio show from which he dramatically quit while on air, now makes the fourth Republican and the sixth overall candidate to declare for this race. Given the makeup and voting history of the district, it's really just a matter of which Republican wins. Right now, from the limited knowledge I have of the candidates thus far declared, he'd would likely be the prohibitive front runner due to local name recognition alone.
Lewis left his KTLK (1130 AM) radio show last year to focus on his libertarian website, Galt.io, which named after the libertarian hero of the Ayn Rand novel, "Atlas Shrugged."
Galt.io is a members-only network of makers inspired by “Galt’s Gulch” from Ayn Rand’s classic novel “Atlas Shrugged”. Members are part of a virtual economy that uses Galtcoins to invest in causes. Unlike social networks that gather around frivolous interactions between members, Galt.io members collaborate around serious issues concerning our country, politics and government. Members who contribute to the community earn Galtcoins through dividends, voting and updates.
Galt.io launched on May 15, 2014 and has already become the most engaging network anywhere on the internet. Our members are more active and dig deeper than any other network in the world, period. The economy has already grown to over 1.1 billion Galtcoins and 6.4 million shares owned. What was originally intended as a small but powerful community has already grown to over 4 thousand Members and continues to see accelerated growth every day. This has happened despite the membership requirement of having to be invited by an existing member. Even with the growth we’ve seen, we have been unable to accommodate the growing demand of people who want to become members and can’t find an invite.
While we still consider Galt.io to be in BETA, we are taking steps to help the community grow by accepting new members without losing sight of our commitment to quality over quantity when it comes to our members.
Galt.io started out as a Crowdfunding effort with the goal of raising $250K to begin development of the vision. The goal was surpassed the next day and eventually brought in pledges of over $700K and was one of the most successful Crowdfunding campaigns in history. This accomplishment is even more amazing when you consider that it was done independently, without the benefit of an established crowdfunding network. While the levels of engagement we’ve seen have exceeded even our expectations, the crowdfunding success can be attributed to our members/pledgers who, like us, saw the need for something like Galt.io to exist and put their time and money behind it to make it happen.

Dave Thompson is the state senator for my voting district. He has reasonably high approval ratings, last I checked. I think he's happy working in St. Paul.Oddly enough, another radio talkshow host (Dave Thompson) from the old days of AM1500 has been rumored to be interested but has since denied he's interested.
Question is whether Hillary's campaign is mortally wounded.
The interesting part about Jason Lewis's candidacy is that he's an anti-war conservative who has called for shrinking the defense budget in addition to the overall federal budget. He has a long history of making these comments on his show since he came back from his time in North Carolina, which makes me wonder how well he'd be received in Washington, or if he'd kowtow to party pressure while there.

Move back to Carolina where you belong.
Who twisted your panties into a knot, Scooby?He cracks me up. He moved to the Carolina's after *****ing on the radio for years about Minnesota and it's liberal policies. And then he moves back here. And now he wants to be elected so he can change those policies?

He moved back to Minnesota some five or six years ago, got a contract with KTLK to re-start his show here. The contract was bigger than his NC contract, his family is all from Iowa (his side) and Minnesota (wife's side), and the station had an agreement in place to help him move national if his ratings were strong enough. The ratings were strong enough and they so they followed through on the national show. Since he quit radio he's now looking into running in a solidly red district. I wouldn't doubt if he quit last year knowing that Kline wouldn't run again in 2016.
I don't like him and I don't like his incessant whining. His commentary articles in the Star Tribe were incessant whining as well.
Good news for you, he's not running in your district!
