Actually, loris, it’s Swiftee’s department from what I hear. And the GOP gave HIM a pass–into the RNC.

Actually, it’s Tom Rukavina and James Metzen’s department, but their party gave them a pass for their crimes.

Loris–drinking and driving? That’s Swiftee’s department!

I work at the capitol as well.

Why don’t you just name who this is.

You posted three other posts and did not finish the tease…

I work at the capitol and heard about a candidate that has multiple problems. Is this the race in Blaine? Some Dems are trying to figure out how to get him off the ballot. He carpet-bagged into the district to start earlier this year. Since he’s so young to start with, my guess is that people would already question his judgement. Watch the DFL staffers trek to the Anoka County Courthouse…

DJZ, Amusing how you assume it is a man. And here I thought the left was open minded and not sexist. lol

What did he do?

Cheat during the campaign and get fined by CFB?
Not pay his property taxes?
Beat his wife?
Sexually molest a young women while she slept?

Oh, my mistake, that a small list of MINNESOTA REPUBLICAN infractions since 2002.

why are our elected officials “buzzing” about the past of a single candidate? Doesn’t the GOP leadership have anything better to do?

Let me guess: He didn’t pay taxes, got caught and drove away only to get pulled over for drinking and driving. Then the cop found a dozen of his opponenets lawn signs in his backseat. Sounds like he’ll fit right in with the House DFL!

Damn,

I better put on another pot of coffee, sleep is NOT an option tonight!

Anxiously awaiting this update Michael, perhaps you could text me or something when you put it up!

I think the less Michael says about something right away, the less there generally is to the story.

And, similarly, the less there is to a story, the more topics you will see posted about said topic.

So, I see a half dozen posts about this occurring tomorrow, no matter how many overdue library books the candidate in question has.

The DFL party, already not fully excited about this guy, have to be almost ready to ditch his race. I look forward to the House Republicans picking up this seat. Though, I think the GOP candidate was fully able to pick up the seat on his own without this embarrassing blow.
