There are three (3) candidate seeking the MN DFL endorsement for USA Senate:
Mike Ciresi
Al Franken
Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer
The last story, “State faces 935 million questions on deficit” and/or similar questions are of great concern to many people in the state of Minnesota.
The MN deficit cannot be totally solved by the MN GOP Chairperson investigating candidates with some celebrity status in New York.
Neither can the MN deficit be solved by blasting away at the MN gas tax with attack ads.
Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer & Mike Ciresi have been against the War in Iraq from the beginning. There is one whopping cost savings.
Mike Ciresi fought Big Tobacco and won up to 200 million dollars annually for the State of Minnesota. That is money that is put INTO the state coffers EVERY YEAR.
Al Franken is a candidate with celebrity status. With that status comes name recognition. When you’re hot – your hot; when your not – you’re not.

Team Franken can’t be happy. Thanks for putting that in red. That way it gives it the proper emphasis. It’s good to emphasize the parts you are totally making up. Or have you suddenly taken employment with Team Franken too?

Michael, could you please delete post #5, for me?
March 6th, 2008 at 4:00 PM
I think it should be left there. Would hate to see him come back later and claim his posts are getting deleted…

Michael;
Did you check the NYWC site and see that Alan Franken Inc. was paying for WC?
Did you check with the post office to find out that certified mail must be signed for and can’t be forwarded?
So he is sending them a check to pay for coverage and NYWC or the collection agency can’t find him.
Maybe they should have looked at the address on the checks?

One more thing, how many times did you and the rest of the wingers press the button to make that the #1 story?

HCDFL I know it hurts when one of your moonbat politicians gets exposed, you will be fine. Angry Al will still lose, but you will be fine.
Now go lay by your dish, woof, woof.
March 6th, 2008 at 4:32 PM
Why should we hold Angry Al responsible for this? After all, he’s only following in the footsteps of his hero, right?
Wellstone’d did the same damn thing. Birds of a feather…
March 6th, 2008 at 5:03 PM
You can tell how badly something like this is hurting the moonbat base by how wild they get with their stupid accusations (photoshop, reloading to get a story to be #1, etc.)
That’ll do, moonbats, that’ll do.

Sounds like the senate has come to it’s sense and realized Wellstone never accomplished anything so they are looking to rename the mental health bill. After all, Wellstone could never get it done, so why name it after him? It would only end up with the same failure rate Wellstone had.

Minnesota has a caucus/primary process and therefore has many possible democrats that could take on Norm Coleman and win, as was stated on an earlier post.
