A MESSAGE FROM MDE
By Michael B. Brodkorb | June 19, 2008
I am excited to announce that starting today, I will be a part-time research consultant to Representative Erik Paulsen’s congressional campaign. I am not a full-time paid campaign staffer, but rather a part-time research consultant.
Since the ideas and opinions expressed on Minnesota Democrats Exposed are exclusively my own (expect comments left on my posts by other bloggers and interested parties), I will continue posting on my personal blog.
I am not now, nor have I ever been paid to blog. I am under no legal obligation to disclose a professional relationship with a campaign or political party on my personal blog. But I have repeatedly stated that if I am hired by a campaign or political party, I will disclose it on Minnesota Democrats Exposed.
Minnesota Democrats Exposed is not created, endorsed, sponsored, or authorized by any political party, candidate, or candidate’s committee. It’s all me and always will be and I am very proud of Minnesota Democrats Exposed.

Swiftboating= telling the truth
June 19th, 2008 at 11:08 am
It’s too bad for the libtards that you can’t switftboat an honest person.

You know Mike, you’re never going to get any of that sweet, sweet Soros cash if you keep spillin’ the beans.
As any MiniSoros Independent sockpuppet can tell you; “loose lips make baby George cry”.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:11 am
Anyone want to hazard a guess as to why Erik needed to hire a hit man?
June 19th, 2008 at 11:36 am
Is the first research assignment to finally research a position on Iraq? You know, him being a candidate for national office and all.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:54 am
Has Madia hired somebody to find his position on immigration? Or is he going to use USINPAC’s position?
You know, him being a candidate for national office and all.

Congratulations. Erik’s a good guy and a good friend.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
@MON: Heh.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
He’s made his position quite clear in numerous public debates, speeches, and the like related to immigration.
What position does Paulsen articulate on immigration? He only says we need a strong national defense… let’s apply that to immigration as well.
Perhaps that should be MDE research point number two.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
“clear in numerous public debates, speeches, and the like related to immigration. ”
But not on his website.
I’ve heard Erik talk to both issues at length.
June 19th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
MON,
You’ve actually HEARD Erik speak? I’ve lived in his district since his first run for office and never met him and only heard him speak once - at a Veterans Day event.
It’s hard to consider two candidates for office when one won’t publish their events so that interested parties can actually go listen and ask questions.

WMD — fancy that, I’ve never heard Madia speak either, because I don’t go to DFL events.
From Stu Rothenberg, of The Rothenberg Political Report
“I wouldn’t say my interview with Erik Paulsen went well. I’d say it was spectacular. His response to a question on immigration policy was the single best answer that I have ever received — and I’ve certainly asked the same question to at least 100 other candidates.”

I sincerely wish you all the luck you brought Mark Kennedy in helping Eric Paulsen lose this seat.
Steve Sarvi is the real deal.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Looking forward to seeing how much cash you make for this part time gig.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Congratulations Michael.

I can only EXPECT the same quality work in your work with EP.
