Bob Hill is exiting the race against Michele Bachmann in the Sixth congressional district.
Eric at MN Blue also spoke with a source close to the campaign as well as Mr. Hill, who confirmed the report (Eric's full writeup can be found here).
I would write more about it, but Mr. Hill has expressed concern at my quotation of him in the interview I conducted in July. A quote about Hill's approach to special interest groups, particularly the teachers' union and the AFL-CIO, was included in the text of the interview with no extra emphasis applied or intended. My email and cell phone are always available for corrections, but unfortunately this is the first I have heard of dissatisfaction on the part of the interview's subject.
In short, I wish Mr. Hill all the best in whatever future political endeavors he chooses, but must stand by my quote. |
