Excellent reporting crash, again! However, I feel compelled to comment on your sentence and paragraph that begins:

“To be blunt: normal Republicans want nothing to do with her. Twice now, Libby has humiliated herself by running – and losing – her bids for legislative leadership.”

ALL 70 Republicans voted to support her in this bullshit. So I’m not inclined to believe that these people want nothing to do with her, and that she is a laughing stock to them. When 100% of your colleagues support you that does not, to me anyway, indicate that they “…want nothing to do with her“ and think she is a “laughingstock”.

Keep i up p the great work!

Thanks for your support and kind words TJ. re: GOPers don't want anything to do with Libby. That's from Reese Calloway, our undercover legislator reporting from under the Dome. (NOT MY WORDS as I am allergic to reporting on Augusta directly.) As I watched the legislature's livestream last night, tho, I was struck by how dysfunctional the whole damn place seems. Also, it seems to be that Libby's lack of support in her challenge to Billy Bob Faulkingham's leadership position does support Calloway's assertion that Libby ain't popular. That being said, yikes. It's too bad zero Republicans took a stand against the garbage spewed by Libby.

Oh yeah, I forgot it was “Calloway”.
