Rove-protege Tim Griffin considering running for Arkansas Senate seat in 2010.
In a message on his Twitter account today, former Arkansas U.S. attorney and Karl Rove-protege Tim Griffin hinted that he is considering a “senate run” in 2010 against Sen. Blanche Lincoln. In an interview with the AP, Griffin confirmed that he was indeed mulling a run, saying that he was “certainly thinking about it“:
“I am certainly thinking about it,” Griffin said. “I’m going to spend some time going around the state and talking to folks and getting an idea of the interest level. … I’m going to try and hit all 75 counties as soon as possible and I know that’s a tall order trying to hit all of those in the next few months.
Griffin is controversial beyond his involvement in the U.S. attorney scandal. As RNC research director in 2004, Griffin reportedly led a “caging” scheme to suppress the votes of likely Democratic voters, including African-American service members in Florida.

December 15th, 2008 at 7:33 pmHe should run as Peter, get a 5% ironic boost.
And lose 65-35.

December 15th, 2008 at 7:34 pmThis is the no neck, marshmellow faced guy I mentioned a long time ago that look’s like rover…Asked if they were related, no on ever gave me an answer…A clone maybe?.. They are all starting to look alike, to much inbreeding I think..Poor reich winger’s, who but relative’s would have them…LOL…Blessings
December 15th, 2008 at 7:38 pmJust because he too brings the Ned Beatty thing to mind is hardly the basis for a senate campaign
December 15th, 2008 at 7:38 pmAny Rove protegé should hide & run. Rove is so anti-American, pro-division, that anyone associated with Rove-loser should be written off immediately. Remember- Rove hates Congress, and refuses subpoenas. He hates the U.S. Constitution. Show him the door. The door to jail, if possible.
December 15th, 2008 at 7:39 pmSomeone will stomp a mudhole in his fat ass.
December 15th, 2008 at 7:44 pmMay I bring everyone’s attention to #3? Magnificant in its simplicity
December 15th, 2008 at 7:44 pmPsssst….. “Would you be more or less likely to vote for Tim Griffin…if you knew he had fathered an illegitimate black child?” – Karl Rove
December 15th, 2008 at 8:07 pmThis man is pond scum. Just like Rove. And this is Arkansas.
He will run, and those knuckle draggers will elect him. Just watch.
December 15th, 2008 at 8:12 pmJust what our nation needs…another crooked, anti-working class Republican in the U.S. Senate.
December 15th, 2008 at 8:46 pmwell he looks like a fat pastie pig…
I’d say he has it down.
December 15th, 2008 at 8:50 pmThis very doughboy looking guy was the smut digger for Rove. Griffin was the go to guy when you wanted to smear an adversary. Griffin dug up the nasty information on the democratic governor Seligman, who was sent to jail for literally being a Democratic governor. This man is small and nasty and has the ethics of a vampire. He’s very dangerous because there is nothing too low for him to pursue. It’s who he is!
December 15th, 2008 at 9:24 pmRove has been doing cloning experiments in his basement for years. Griffin is the result. He is the reason that all these hogs MUST be prosecuted. I fear that will not happen.
The people of Arkansas gave us Gov. Clinton. Will they also give us Tim the Younger?
December 15th, 2008 at 10:21 pm…Griffin reportedly led a “caging” scheme to suppress the votes of likely Democratic voters, including African-American service members in Florida.
Yup, sounds like he is qualified to be the Republican candidate.
December 15th, 2008 at 10:41 pmOkay, so he asked that his name be withdrawn for the position of US Attorney because he didn’t want to face questions about his illegal caging activities, and he thinks that if he runs for US Senator there won’t be any questions about it? Is he playing with a full deck?
December 15th, 2008 at 10:50 pmStart printing up your “A Vote for Tim Griffin is a Vote for Karl Rove” bumper stickers. Might be able to put your kids through college selling them.
December 15th, 2008 at 10:51 pmWhat a joke!
His racist ass will be youtubed to death.
December 15th, 2008 at 11:06 pmHAHAHAHAHA

December 16th, 2008 at 12:40 amWell before he does anything about running for office, that girl has got to do something about the fact that his pictures just SCREAM closet faggot. Methinks this lady doth protest too much in his Rove-speak.
December 16th, 2008 at 6:12 amHaven’t these people figured out that the worst possible thing that can happen to them is to get into power?
December 16th, 2008 at 6:51 amcurious @ 12:
Arkansas’ Congressional contingent consists of 2 Democratic US Senators and 3 of their 4 Representatives are Democrats. Sure, they are moderate Dems, but they are Dems in a Southern state. Meaning that they made conscious decisions to join the Dems instead of the Reps.
December 16th, 2008 at 7:35 amWith a second look he look’s like one of those puffer fish, touch them and they blow up and get all spikie, Yep! that’s what he is….Bloated little puffer fish…P.B. & J
December 16th, 2008 at 7:48 amThis anti-American scumsucker should be rotting in jail for his proud voter caging scheme. Go ahead and run fat boy. Maybe you’ll give yourself a well desrved heart attack.
December 16th, 2008 at 9:45 amOh goody! *Another* pudgy, doughy white Repuke! YAY!!!
Ew. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit…
December 16th, 2008 at 11:12 amI sure hope he runs. When Pryor ran, we never saw what he could to to an opponent. We missed the fun of the big win.
Lincoln will walk all over this guy. Should be fun to watch.
Like Mike Singletary once yelled to a Dallas Cowboys crowd (as his Bears were destroying Dallas): “Don’t leave, WE NEED WITNESSES!”
And there will be nothing like watching a Rove-backed freak lose to Lincoln by 30%.
