1. She's So 2011...

I did see that SNL did a farewell to her last Saturday night. In the corporate media world when you drop outta sight you become no longer relevant. Look at Grifterella in media exile in Alaska as an example...their 15 minutes have expired.

2. Yessir...

.. and I'm crossing my fingers that with redistricting and her beatdown in Iowa, she'll completely disappear from sight in my district. I'm quite tired of trying to explain why a nutcase like her represents me in Congress.

3. I am wondering what she'll decide.

My fingers are crossed, too. I think she's very likely not to run for her House seat, but I'm not certain. It may be that she needs the job. After all, she and her husband don't really have any viable business they can fall back on. That "Christian" counseling thing is fail. So, it's possible she may try to retain the income from her seat. If so, redistricting and her abandonment of her district may be the key to defeating her.

4. Do you have any idea if..

.. she's got a substantial campaign debt hanging over her head? I sure hope so, strikes me as VERY poetic justice. Seems her attempt to "cash in" like Sister Sarah didn't work out quite like she planned. And that makes me smile.

5. I think she has a large deficit from her campaign.

The numbers I keep hearing are around a million. That's gonna hang over her head for some time, since I can't imagine who's going to donate money to such a loser. She doesn't have the voice for television, and I don't think even Fox is interested in her in any way. She's done, I believe. My real hope is that she attempts to run for the Senate against Amy Klobuchar. That would be a complete defeat for her. While Amy's not the most progressive person in the Senate, she's still a solid Democrat, and is very popular throughout the state.

I think we're all done with Michele and her wackiness.

6. Sometimes when their 15 minutes of fame is up

it's really up! Others fade away more gradually.

7. There's no reason to mention her

The race is the big story and she's not in it anymore. If she endorses somebody she'll get a brief mention, but that probably won't happen either.
