I can only picture The Boebs catching a massive vaping buzz, cranking "The Way We Were," and pondering her future in CD-3:
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?
I have a feeling AFC (Americas' Finest Congressman) will, in fact, relocate to someplace (any place) other than Garfield county. Here, she seems to be avoiding a family in turmoil and old friends and neighbors who will no longer speak to her. She has much from which to run away.
Deserting a district because she thinks Molly Brown is going to sing and make her campaign as worthless as her morals is really smart. A staggering genius she is.
A visit to the Molly Brown house would be good.
How will Bimbo make the ballot ? Imagine relying on the caucus might be troublesome for a carpetbagger so the paid petition rioute? Her only chance is a crowded ballot but how many of the 6 others are really likely to make it ?
I didn't realize until now that U.S. Reps only need 1,500 petition signatures to get on the primary ballot. If she's got the money to just hand it all over to paid petition gatherers, that should be pretty easy unless anti-carpetbagger sentiment is strong enough to keep nearly everyone from signing.
No, getting the signatures is easy enough. The trick is to get valid signatures.
I also think getting 1,500 valid sigs will be easy, but the trick will be avoiding fraud.

That was a pretty comprehensive wrap-up for a short piece, if anyone's still following this thread. Of course it will probably need daily updating for a while, for example since Lynch jumped into the CD4 race after the story was written.
Maybe she can help finance the signature gathering for some of her opponents especially if she can recruit someone with a name which is spelled as a close resemblance to "Sonnenberg."
I'm old enough to remember back in 1978 when there were two Ed Kings running for governor of Massachusetts. One was a Democrat and the other a Republican. Fortunately they ran in separate party primaries and only one made it to the general election.
Maybe Bimbobert can also recruit and collect signatures for another Republican candidate named "Flora." Or if not "Flora," maybe "Fauna."
The more the merrier. It's the only way she stands a chance.
A district once represented by honorable people like Hank Brown, Wayne Allard and Betsy Markey has devolved into this freak show.

Just saw that speaker Mike has just endorsed Handy Hand BoBo. I wonder if he even understands where she is supposed to be running today.
So the guy who uses Covenant Eyes is endorsing the Rep getting felt up in a pubic place? By a Democrat? You really couldn't make this stuff up.
"Pubic place": intentional or freudian slip? Inquiring minds….
Technically, the Rep DID the feeling up in a pubic place, and Michael's pretty sharp so he probably knows that, so I'm guessing Freudian or a mere typo.
Might the Powers-That-Be be attempting to clear the field for her?
There are no limits to the uses to which one can put a useful idiot.
Seeker Mike Johnson really doesn't have much of a choice. he needs to support the House members who support him. News this week of the resignation date of Rep. Bill Johnson (R-Ohio) on Jan. 21 creates a bit of a danger: "The resignation will leave the House with 219 Republicans, 213 Democrats, and three vacancies."
Given the leadership of the Democrats and the discipline of the Conference, that means Johnson needs to manuever with only 5 votes to spare, and fewer if any of his Conference votes with the Democrats.
