MOVING ON

Sunday, April 3rd, 2011

Congressman Keith Ellison (MN-5) has long struggled to convince his constituents and the media that his ties to the Nation of Islam are not relevant.

"Many of Franken's malicious remarks and attention-grabbing gaffes are being reported for Minnesotans to see via blogs and YouTube.

ANOTHER PROUD HIGHLIGHT OF MDE IN THE STAR TRIBUNE’S BLOG HOUSE

PIM PRAISES REDESIGN OF MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS EXPOSED

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

"We must note the new design of one of Minnesota's most read blogs, Minnesota Democrats Exposed.

Machine, Craig Westover, and the Taxpayer's League of Minnesota's direct mail. Design is something often missing in political [...]
