Mr. G,<\/p>\n
I want to start a hotel chain. <\/p>\n
It’s main goal is to knock off Marriott. <\/p>\n
What’s its concept? Who cares! I don’t care if people are sleeping on rows of cots under oil light, as long as I kill off Marriott. <\/p>\n
Seems dicey? Well, duh. When one says “I wanna knock off Marriott, one can fairly ask “with what?” It’s an important question. <\/p>\n
It’d be a stupid business plan!<\/p>\n
So when you withdrew from the CD6 race – daunted by the district’s Romney +15 showing (14 points better Han Rep. Bachmann) and what’ll no doubt be a national funding drought – you said you’d accomplished your mission – removing Bachmann. By implication, you seem to mean “whether by a Republican or a DFLer”. <\/p>\n
Really?<\/p>\n
So the day after the election, your mission would have been accomplished? The rest of your two years in DC would have been a tabula rasa<\/em>?<\/p>\n (Well, duh, no. You’d have danced with the ones that brung you;youd have been little more than Betty McCollum with supernatural hair). <\/p>\n Did “my considered agenda ends on Day 2 in office” ever pop up in your campaign material?<\/p>\n That is all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To: Jim Graves, ex-candidate From: Mitch Berg, uppity peasant Re: Personal!
