Yet both Coleman and Pawlenty, neither Conservative, ran against hard leftists and won (although Coleman clearly lost due to fraud and a 3rd party taking critical votes). Sadly, in the past umpteen decades, there's only been one Conservative win statewide, and that was Rod Grams in '94 (and he only barely won against a certified leftist moonbat). Believe me, I've been highly critical of Pawlenty and strongly opposed him for President, but getting Frankenstein out is paramount, and he looks to be the strongest person to do that. The talk show host mentioned might look and sound good, but even against a moonbat like Al, I can't see him pulling it off. They're going to have to raise a ton of money, too. I'm just a bit wary of our side blowing winnable races with unsuitable candidates.
Coleman was a former Democrat and ran largely on having “brought hockey back to Minnesota”.
If you don’t have principles and can’t articulate them, you aren’t going very far.
