I don't think so. He lost because he ran a lousy campaign. I didn't know who he was even until I started listening to his morning radio talk show. He's terrific.
Given the problems that any Republican has with the Minneapolis RedStar Tribune (see exhibit A: Michele Bachmann and exhibit B: Chip Cravaack), Emmer’s history and failed campaign against Governor Jim Beam make him damaged goods in my view.
It’s not that he’s not conservative and it’s not that he doesn’t do a good radio show. It’s just that I think CD-6 can do better.
I listen to Tom Emmer every weekday morning.
His Campaign was terrible, but he’s the real deal & has significant knowledge.
