THE POLITICO: “TAX SLIP-UP MARS FRANKEN CAMPAIGN” #2
By Michael B. Brodkorb | April 30, 2008
“While the actual infraction may be far from a killer, the campaign’s slow handling of the matter has raised questions about Franken’s readiness for the scrutiny of a statewide Senate race.
The Franken campaign has restricted media access to him. And until he actually paid the back taxes, Franken did not directly respond to reporters’ questions about the mounting controversy, instead relying on surrogates.
‘He’s being kept under wraps because he isn’t terribly disciplined in the way he deals with reporters. He gets in their face, gets angry with them, gets aggressive with them, so he’s trying to keep a distance from reporters so he doesn’t mess with them,’ said Schier.” Source: The Politico, April 30, 2008

“It’s incomprehensible for people in greater Minnesota that somebody running the state GOP Party Machinery can’t pick an accountant to get things right. How much of the party faithful’s hard-earned donations to the MN GOP went to the Federal Elections Commission to pay fines, simply because republiCon Ron is incompetent?’†Source: TPT, on M.D.E.; 5-1-08 …
