    LARRY JACOBS SLAMS TEAM FRANKEN ON ALMANAC: RAISES POSSIBILITY OF FRANKEN BEING CHALLENGED IN PRIMARY, COMPLAINS ABOUT “PROFESSIONALISM” OF CAMPAIGN

    By Michael B. Brodkorb | April 25, 2008

    “The big problem here for Franken are the news stories. It’s partly the drip, drip, drip on these financial stories. But the bigger problem is what it says about the professionalism of the Franken campaign.The truth is the Coleman campaign seems to know more about Franken, than the Franken campaign. They don’t have a professional seasoned campaign manager and the result is they’re making rookie mistakes. They should have scrubbed Franken, they should have known this beforehand and they should be doing a lot of other fairly plain vanilla, sort of professional activities to set up the campaign.

    …and there’s even some talk out this week, that there’s some folks in the Democratic Party wondering about running in the primary. What’s going on in the Franken campaign is unnerving. Anyone who is a professional, watching this race, it is alarming. This is just not the way a top-flight, top national race ought to be run” Source: Larry Jacobs, “Almanac”, April 25, 2008

      When’s the last time a Democrat ran a “top-flight, national campaign?”… The DFL is only capable of obfuscating its candidate’s record (Amy Klobuchar), lying (every Democrat) and hacking their way through the finish.

      In exclusively Democrat districts, they don’t have challengers… that’s how they get anti-police, anti-business, anti-economy, pro-terrorist nut-jobs like Keith Ellison… he ran a dirt-ball campaign too.

      DFL: Dumb, Frealoaders, Lazy asses.

      Jacobs is annoying. He’d never actually been involved - all he does is bitch and moan about how various campaigns are screwing up (hey, just like bloggers!). He doesn’t even know how to conduct a decent poll.

      That being said, this Dem would welcome and help out with a primary against Franken.
