No suprise here; the Women’s Press endorsement would have been news if it had not endorsed Lord-Faris! Certainly there will be some DFL’ers voting for Lord-Faris but a significant number of her votes are going to come from Republicans who only want to mess areound in our (I’m a DFL’er) primary. Some of my Republican friends are actually gleeful thinking that they can bring down Al Franken. They know that Al Franken can win in November – in fact is likely to win in November – and that Lord-Faris is sure to lose.

On Tuesday, reality will bite however! Al Franken will win easily as he should. And, a few weeks later the Women’s Press will endorse him for the Senate seat because he is much more responsive and supportive on many issues important to a lot of women in Minnesota.

This is a partisan ballot for the primary election. Norm doesn’t face any significant opposition and in my district Barb Davis White is unopposed. Maybe, just maybe it might be time to vote democratic. Let’s see! There is Angy Al and Lord Farris on the Democratic side of the ballot.

Decisions, decisions!

Perhaps the name of Lord Faris will some day be featured by Vanna White in a before and after.

I saw 5 Lord Faris tv ads in one hour tonight on channel 11. I would say that something is stirring. Anyone think she has a shot?

Why is it that republicans get so confused by primaries?

Prissy will get lots of votes from democrats who want to send Al a message, but still intend to send Norm a much bigger one in November.

If Angry Al gets less than 70% in the primary he’s toast in November.

Xan – define landslide. I think if Franken gets anything less than 80% it’s an embarrasment. My guess is 65-30 for Franky.

I thought Lord Faris said that if the race were competitive, she would drop out.

I guess we can now say she has broken the only campaign promise she ever made.

Who cares? Franken will beat Lord Farris by a landslide on primary day. Keep reaching at those straws Brodkorb.
