4. What about Raul Grijalva? He always impressed me as a good Democrat - can't he run?

If she has no chance of being reelected, she has no incentive to do what her constituents and the party want of her. I don't like her at all, but I think it's a mistake to be too negative towards her. As things stand now, she could vote against legislation we need or switch parties just to spite us, and then where would we be? I really hope the Democrats have something on her that will keep her in the fold, because as things stand now, she's probably looking over at offers from the Turtle and is thinking, "why not?"
