[...] Why would Baxter choose to ignore the MN US Senate race? Could it be that the week his assignment was due, the campaign of the Democratic candidate for US Senate (Amy Klobuchar) had to fire its communications director for viewing an unreleased Mark Kennedy ad which was unethically, and possibly illegally, obtained by a blogger and sent to the Klobuchar campaign? And, as it turns out, information from that ad was used by Democrats to survey voters before the ad was released by the Kennedy campaign. [...]

I think the timing of Klob’s apology greatly depreciated it’s value. It’s like when you play those trivia games at the bar. If you answer immediately you get maximum value but if you wait too long, even if you have the right answer, you get no points.

So, five posts on the fact that Kennedy’s campaign leaked an ad to Klobuchar’s campaign, Klobuchar learned about it, and fired the person who watched the ad, despite the fact that she didn’t do anything illegal?

Wow. You really are breaking some news here.

Comment number eight was not posted by me (even though it has my signature). I have never posted any comments on this blog nor have I ever even read this blog.

Did Amy report it immediately?
Did she wait until others found out and she couldn’t civer it up and HAD to report it?

I must say here;
I have stated all along that Amy is NOT a people person. She will have tons of staff problems if elected. She has had serious staff issues in the County Attorney ofice all along.

If she did not have policy for her staff or if some other disgruntled staff member set this fal up…none of it is good.

She is not Senatorial material.

“What happened here was wrong,” Klobuchar said in her own statement. “By reporting the blogger’s activities and this incident to law enforcement, we are doing the right thing.”

Is this the first evidence of Klobuchar actually fighting crime?

[...] FWIW, also issuing a denial is Michael Brodkorb (while simultaneously insulting yours truly); no, I didn’t really think it was him, but you’ve got to admit that would have made a great story. [...]

Hate the blog, not the blogger. And no, I don’t find this particularly funny either.

A very ethical and wise decision on Klobuchar’s part. It’s Klobuchar’s own Sister Soulijah moment.

Well, I’m not the phantom blogger, and I agree with others above that Klobuchar was 100% right to do this.

Mike, you’re not the blogger, are you?

I have to say Amy….I mean Ms. Klobuchar did the right thing. As much as I like to pick on Dems, I have to commend her here.

Hey Ellison, this is how you handle bad things. You admit to them and do what you can to resolve the issue.

“DFL: The party of lawbreakers.”

That’s a federal offense, isn’t it? A hacker to ProtestWarrior’s site was indicted by the US Disctrict Court in Illinois this year.
