Please, make Tim Griffin, a Karl Rove prodigy, a one term Congressman.
Could there be nothing worse for a political career than to be a one term Congressman?
My former 2nd District of Arkansas congressman was Vic Snyder, a Democrat, who left congress to help care for his recently born triplets after serving from 1997 to 2011.
Tim Griffin after having resigned his fraudulent shady appoint as US Attorney during the Bush/Alberto Gonzales' US Attorney firing scandal, subsequently ran for and won election to AR 02, vacated by Vic Snyder, with the full force of the Tea Party election wave of 2010.
Under-funded, but politically astute Little Rock lawyer, Herb Rule, entered the 2012 race as a decided underdog has closed in on Griffin with a recent poll: Rule 45% to Griffin 47%.
On October 30, 2012, Arkansas Times' Max Brantley wrote:
Griffin has frequently polled beneath 50 percent. He replaced a popular Congressman Vic Snyder in a district dominated by a county, Pulaski, that votes counter to just about every policy position Griffin has espoused. To gain office, he beat a black liberal Democratic woman, Joyce Elliott, in a year when anti-Obama sentiment ran high. Griffin had schemed against a popular Republican locally, Bud Cummins, to remove him from a US attorney job so Griffin could grab it. He's a Karl Rove tool. He's not a charismatic candidate. He seems to think the campaign is mostly about a pipeline to ship Canadian oil to China, no matter the damage to the U.S. environment. If Rule's quixotic and mostly invisible shoeleather campaign could give Vote Cager Griffin, with all his bags of special interest loot, a run, it would be, well, nice. If unbelievable.

You might conclude from these results that voters in the 2nd District, which still is viewed as a Democratic district and which voted uniformly for statewide Democratic candidates in 2010, might be coming home to the Democratic candidate. Self-identified Democrats favored Rule 10-1, Oakleaf said. Black voters favored Rule 30-1. Pulaski [Little Rock's county]voters favored Rule 55-39.

Griffin is totally opposed to women's medical autonomy.
