Minnick rejects Tea Party endorsement

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

That's really an idiotic decision for a very vulnerable incumbent to make - he won't gain any votes from the (very few in number) Democratic partisans, who would vote for him anyway, but he'll lose a ton of votes from conservatives who felt comfortable voting for him due to the Tea Party endorsement.

It's not like he's going to be reelected no matter what he does, he might as well take a principled stand.

Actually it appears that he may be favored, oddly enough.
