DFL LEGISLATOR: “FOR ME, IT’S REAL CLEAR – I THINK WE SHOULD NOT ENDORSE AL FRANKEN”
By Michael B. Brodkorb | June 6, 2008
“‘Al Franken’s shortcomings go way beyond the latitude we should expect voters to give a U.S. Senate candidate,’ said state Rep. Ken Tschumper, DFL-La Crescent, who backs Nelson-Pallmeyer. ‘People are real unsettled about it and they’re not quite sure what to do or think. For me, it’s real clear – I think we should not endorse Al Franken.’” Source: Associated Press, June 6, 2008

At least one other conservative outside of Minnesota [www.Townhall.com] is summarizing this situation, Scott Bensing came out with “Franken’s ‘Implode-O-Rama’” dated yesterday.
He mentions: Franken, Ellison, Walz, McCollum, Klobuchar, Swanson, the Gores, Gingrich & daughter, and Coleman.
The sooner the DFL delegates are aware of this, the more informed, and more DELIBERATIVE they can attempt to be about the decisions that they make.

So help me, if the DFL dumps Franken I’m gonna punch Ron Carey in the mouth. WHY is he doing this? Let the DFL endorse the weakest candidate and pummel him in the fall.

There are a NUMBER of factors that a CANDIDATE considers.
There are a NUMBER of factors that a DELEGATE
considers.
There are a NUMBER of factors that a CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTOR considers.
There are a NUMBER of factors that a CAMPAIGN WORKER considers.
There are a NUMBER of factors that a PRIMARY VOTER considers.
HOWEVER THE FINAL FACTORS ARE THE FACTORS THAT THE VOTER IN THE GENERAL ELECTION CONSIDER.

The biggest factor that Rep. Tschumper is worried about is getting re-elected. After all, it isn’t like he had a 52 vote margin of victory last time. OH WAIT. YES HE DID.
That isn’t influencing Tschumper’s decision, is it?
