What’s going on with Tom Emmer for Bachmann’s seat?
“Amide”=Abide (by)
Emmer won the party endorsement back at the district convention in April.
He faces a primary with fellow former State Phil Krinkie and Anoka County Commissioner Rhonda Sivarajah. He crushed Sivarajah (her married name) at the convention, Krinkle didn’t bother to try for the endorsement.
Emmer is the heavy favorite, I believe.
Jeff Johnson -— the name you know!
If the GOP unites instead of shooting their wounded, and poll watch, they could get Indies, even the Indepen. members to unite with Libertarians and even TEAS to oust this worthless socialist jokester. For Americans to reward a guy like this who salivates over every Obama issue is simply insane.
Not a huge fan of McFadden, Dahlberg, or Ortman, but the latter two had major potential skeletons for Franken to exploit (divorce/credit card issue for Dahlberg, potential mention on Brodkorb "cheater's list" for Ortman). Don't know if any exist for McFadden; I know people were digging hard.
Seifert, being from rural Minnesota, is supposedly the only Republican who could reach outstate voters. Don't know if I buy that. If Johnson runs more ads like his hilarious ad comparing Dayton's policies to a student driver, he'll have a real shot. Seifert will be tough in the primary; Honour's wasting his money.
Thanks for the info.
Cheater’s list? I’m not not familiar. As in adultery? That could have been bad.
Hey, yeah.
Interesting article on MN conventions.

Seems like delegates bailing to go home if they drag on too long is a thing.
Got to get rid of Franken
With a massive RINO, don’t count on it. I can see us unnecessarily losing in Oregon too.
Still, that should be compensated by great candidates in Iowa and Michigan!
