Tim Griffin Would Like To Be Your Congressman
Let us cast our memory back fondly to the earlier part of this year, when I speculated that former U.S. Attorney Tim Griffin, who was then weighing a Republican challenge to Sen. Blanche Lincoln, was really interested in running for some OTHER office. Say, let’s quote me, in interrogative mode:Is Griffin serious about running for the Senate seat? Or is he “exploring” a run to test the feasibility before he “suddenly” decides to drop down to a lower level race and, oh, say, challenge Democratic Rep. Vic Snyder for the Second District House seat?
Thought-provoking questions, Dave! And whaddya know, today Griffin announces today he’ll join the race to challenge Snyder, just as we wondered all those months ago. He even has a (placeholder) website. (Conway’s David Meeks is already in the race, and a couple of others are rumored to be thinking about getting in.)
So let us salute The Arkansas Project’s laudable foresight, while ignoring and forgetting the many, many, many times my wild-ass, harebrained speculations turned out to be laughably and pitifully wrong.

Glad to see you finally got the word, AR Project.
Tim’s the best candidate in the race by far.
Heard that banker-man might not run (and maybe never was running).

The blog’s but a sideline, Barbara, so we post as time allows, but thank you as ever. Hearing the same thing about the banker-man.

I’m another Barbara, and I think you are doing a great job!

I kmow what we should do. We should find a candidate with Bush baggage so that we can have a replay of 2006 and 2008. Lets talk about Gitmo, US Attorneys and all that other stuff thata costs us 15 US Senate seats and 60 House seats. Go Tim Go.

The question that has not been yet asked, is when Mr. Kinkade going to announce for office? Are the rumors true good sir?

This blog sucks and Kinkade is worthless. I hate them both.

What color do you suppose the sky is in Griffin’s world? Beat Vic Snyder? Pshaw!

It’s a good thing I find you people so amusing, because otherwise I would hate you all.

but I think the senate race would be easier to win than the house race.
