Al Franken Issues Dire Warning Over Palin Endorsement Of GOP Rival?
Breitbart ^ | 8 Apr 2014 | MICHAEL PATRICK LEAHY

Posted on 04/08/2014 5:36:49 PM PDT by mandaladon

Senator Al Franken (D-MN) is having a bit of a freak out out over Sarah Palin's endorsement on Thursday of state senator Julianne Ortman, the leading candidate to win the Republican nomination for the United States Senate in Minnesota and challenge him in the November general election.

On Monday, Senator Franken sent out a dire email warning of Palin's influence on the election. He also could not resist attacking the Koch brothers as well. "Sarah Palin is now involved in the race — she just endorsed the Republican who, according to the Koch-affiliated poll, is only three points down," he wrote. "The Koch-backed attack group running ads against me just put out a new poll showing two of my Republican opponents within single digits — and, regardless of whether you trust their numbers, it's sure to egg on more right-wing attacks."

I'll never get used to hearing that. It's like "Senator Bozo the Clown."

Then it's just as well that the original Bozo the Clown (Larry Harmon) didn't get anywhere when he ran for president in 1984, wearing his Bozo makeup and carrying a sign that said, "Put the real Bozo in the White House."

See HMS Surprise's comment Sadmillie: Palin has the establishment in an icy death-grip. It’s like watching a python digest a pig. Every once in a while you see a kick, but the pig knows that it is dead.

They are quaking in their boots.

“she just endorsed the Republican who, according to the Koch-affiliated poll, is only three points down”

What is the point of that statement? I mean, if you say the opponent is “only three points down”, it seems like you want the rubes to think that the race is so close they must donate money real fast. Yet, he says it’s a “Koch-affiliated poll”, which, to a liberal, would mean the poll is biased and not to be taken seriously. Probably should have left that bit out if he wanted to scare up some cash.

Franken will win again unless Minnesota moves the state pen across the river to Wisconsin. He got lots of his illegal votes from the felons there!

If Ortman is the candidate, Franken has nothing to worry about. Aside from being, at best, a milquetoast campaigner, it is rumored that Ortman is on the Brobkorb list - the list of Minnesota legislators/staffers who has been engaging in an extra-marital affair, supposedly with another prominent politician. Brodkorb is a former website provocateur/legislative staffer who was having an affair with the former Senate Majority Leader, leading to his firing. In retaliation, Brodkorb filed a wrongful termination lawsuit, threatening to name others who also cheated on their spouses, but who weren’t fired. Brodkorb’s attorney “accidentally” neglected to confidentially file a document with the list of cheating politicians when e-filing it, so it was publicly available for about a half-hour. News media has the list. But like good libtards, they won’t start asking her questions about it unless she gets the nomination. If you go to Brodkorb’s website, he’s strongly opposing her.

I agree with one small caveat; circling the wagons is a defensive strategy, we’ve been doing that for far too long.

Gotta go on the offensive!

Interesting.

Nevertheless, better to add another seat to our count.
