She did it.

Oh, my God, that's terrible. She must have lost everything.

I'd be looking at arson. Not Reichert, but one of his deranged supporters.

Speaking as a future constituent, what a fuckin' bummer.

On the plus side, at least her plane didn't ice up and crash just outside of Hibbing and kill everyone on board.

Looks like a really terrible fire http://www.kirotv.com/news/16758703/detail.html.

I'm glad that everyone was able escape safely, but this has to be really traumatic. I have no doubt that any possibility of arson will be thoroughly investigated.

That's awful for Darcy. Even with good insurance, rebuilding a household after this is an all-consuming task. Now she has two all-consuming tasks.

It would be nice for Obama to get out to the east side and do a big fundraiser/joint appearance, so at least the campaign would have the resources to fire on all cylinders while she tends to the house.

What awful, awful news. My heart goes out to the family.

Thank god they don't read Slog comments, which I'm guessing will be nasty and ridiculously inhumane.

Insurance doesn't replace family photos. Also, I'll bet she had a ton of papers pertaining to her campaign that are lost. Computers with no off-site backup are a problem too -- though it's not impossible that the disk can be recovered even if the computer is melted and drenched with water.

Bet it was those guys who torch the not sufficiently "built green" houses.

@3: That really sucks. Just because a fire happens in a democrat�s house you think that one of their republican adversaries started it. It�s that kind of knee-jerk mentality that�s deranged.

No, you stupid fuckhead, raindrop. I specifically said it WOULDN'T be Reichert. But Reichert has a fair amount of support in the lunatic fringe right -- you know, people like you and your mom-slash-girlfriend -- who might very well do something horrible like that.

If a house is burning on more than one of its sides, does that make it more or less likely to be an electrical fire or furnace malfunction or an arson?

@12: I know you didn't mean Reichert, that's why I used the broad word 'adversaries'. Also, the far left seems to start more fires than the far left: peoples homes on the Street of Dreams, horticulture labs at UW.

I meant to refer to @11, in my @13 post.

Who is Darcy Burner? Why do we care?
