I’m not convinced that Johnson will win the Governor’s race. His last two runs for statewide office were well...not so good. They were anemic and underfunded.
His supporters claim that he’s learned from the last two races. Based upon what I say of him during the GOP county and district conventions as well as on the campaign trail this summer, I’m not so sure he’s learned.
I voted for Pawlenty. Not because I thought Pawlenty was great. I thought at least he gave the GOP a chance of winning the Governors office in November. I just don’t see Johnson giving us that great of a chance.
Johnson’s best chance would have been if the Dem nominee was Erin Murphy. an inner city ultra liberal leftist. But she lost to Tim Walz. Walz is a tough opponent. He’s been elected to Congress from a GOP-leaning district because he’s been really greasy about portraying himself as a centrist. Trust me, he’s anything but a centrist.
I would hope that the GOP will do everything they can to tie Ellison to Walz.
It makes absolutely no sense.
Jeff is a good candidate who is becoming stronger. He is surrounded by Trumplicans and I think that's a great sign.
I think Jeff can win and will win most of the out state counties. He needs to pick off some precincts in the Minneapolis/STP to win. Walz won't win in out state. We'll tie him to the libs in a big way.
