43rdSB: Minnick Voting ‘Just Right’
Minnick is in a very lonely place. Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel, reportedly met with
freshman congressional Democrats where he told Minnick: “you’re voting just right”. The double entendre was lost on no one. Agree or disagree with his votes, Minnick might have hit on the formula for keeping a Democrat in district one. Most had predicted that the Republican primary in district one would again be crowded. Yet only three have filed and none can be labeled a front runner. In a state with no shortage of ambitious Republican office holders this uncharacteristic timidity cannot be readily explained by the Republican field which includes Sali himself. Perhaps Walt is doing something ‘right’/Sisyphus, 43rd State Blues.
