Did you write out these posts beforehand too? Do you even understand what a biased hack you are? If so, how do you justify it?

Or was this sprung on him? If it had been me, I would not have stayed at a meeting under those circumstances. This shows Mary Kiffmeyer's partisanship - and her lack of professionalism.

I doubt Mark Richie expected to win. People fell for those hokie comercials and his "Good Old Boy" image. Mary Kiffmeyer was a very, very objective office holder and conducted herself in a flawless mannner. The office of Secrtary of State is much strenghened by her service. As for Mark Richie We will hold him to his word and make sure he conducts himself in a nonpatrisan way....something tells me this will take some work.

As for MB monitoring the proceedings, I have to agree with the comment from Demrock, even though you think you have some sort of credentials in MN politics, you really don't. Heck, you don't even have a college degree. You're a blogger, that's all.

What the fuck was her point- I guess she didn't need one with you there. You'll create one. There's no equal analogy as no Democrat office holder lost to a Republican challenger but, what if Johnson had won the AG office and when he showed up for the transition meeting, you see Hatch sitting there with Shawn Towle? Get her the hell out of there. Ritchie brings a staffer, Kiffmeyer brings the number one Republican blogger known for partisan attempts at tearing down Democrats.
