that was how the year began for congressman michael grimm.e staten island republican threatened to throw him off the balcony after questioning him on a federal investigation. a few months later, grimm was indieted on 20 federal charges. facing a possible prison sentence, you think grksz rimm would be facing a tough bid for re-election. but, today, he found himself among this list, eight candidates we can't believe might actually win. not only is it looking like greg will be re-elected, it is looking like he might be elected with a wide margin. if he comes in at 20, he can go with solid points for every indictment tomorrow. he found hymn else in the daily performance which included bribing fourn policy credentials. i've been to israel, i've been to italy, i've been to many, many countries across the world. responses like that may have prompted to openly route for michael to win re-election and then go to prison. should he be convicted, he's paving for a design against two candidates, all the better. >>> there's also don young. we'll call him a
