Why would anyone put themselves through this?

It's a thought I have had over the past day. It's been just short of 24 hours since we figured out we were going to lose our race in SD 18. The feeling of losing a race, one in which you have poured your heart and soul into, is such a hopeless feeling.

However, I plan on doing it again.

Why?

It was a great honor meeting so many great people around our district. We swung 19 points in this race, against a 20 year State Senator, we gained 12 and he lost 7.

I know what it feels like to be a GOPer on the Iron Range or in Minneapolis!
