Thats commitment
Maybe he realizes that Overbey is just a party pawn. I am impressed with his level of commitment.
Minnesota: You are impressed
Minnesota:
You are impressed with whose level of commitment? I'm at a loss for someone to explain why Doug Overbey is a "party pawn." Yes, he is GOP, but is that distinction in and of itself a badge of dishonor?*
