Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party’s Endorsement of Margaret Anderson Kelliher

This election we have a rare opportunity with a credible candidate who is not afraid to campaign in Greater Minnesota and who has a unique ability to connect with voters on a personal level. Margaret is politically savvy like few others. She has a great grassroots operation and will be a unique candidate on both accounts compared to past nominees. After years of third party candidates from the left spoiling elections, we will have an Independence Party candidate from the right (Tom Horner). And the GOP candidate is effectively a Tea Party candidate, Tom Emmer. If there has ever been a window for winning the governorship, it is now.

Tom Emmer (born March 3, 1961 in South Bend, Indiana and raised in Edina, Minnesota) is a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives and the endorsed Republican candidate for governor in the 2010 election. He represents District 19B, which includes portions of Wright and Hennepin counties and the cities of Otsego, Albertville, St. Michael, Rockford, Delano, Montrose, and Waverly.

First elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2004, Emmer currently serves on the Finance Committee, the Health Care and Human Services Policy and Oversight Committee, and the State and Local Government Operations Reform, Technology and Elections Committee. He is also a member of the Finance Subcommittee for the Health Care and Human Services Finance Division, and of the Health Care and Human Services Policy and Oversight Subcommittee for the Licensing Division.[2]

Prior to his election to the House, Emmer served as a member of the Independence and Delano city councils.\

In 2010, Horner announced that he would run for Governor, seeking the endorsement of the Independence Party. Horner, who had previously identified as a Republican, said he was running because both DFL and Republican candidates had
become too extreme in their views.[2] Horner was endorsed by his former boss, Durenberger, as well as former congressman and gubernatorial candidate Tim Penny.

You took a wrong turn some where. This is a Conservative website. You might find Daily Kos or Democrats United more to your liking given your political views.

Curious how you don't mention that the "challenger from the right", in the Independence Party is a Republican in Name only who is to the left of Kelliher on taxes and spending or that Kelliher is facing a 3 way race to win the nomination of her party in the Sept Primary.

Left leaning blog pimp that needs your special attention

[humblegunner]

Thanks, I’ll add this pimp to my watch list.

[Fresh Wind]

IBTZ!

[MNJohnnie]

Don't be so humble, you normally delight in tormenting blog pimps. This one in particular needs your special handling

[humblegunner]

True.
But there are classes of pimpage.

Mostly I am offended by the video-embedders who do nothing
more than rip off someone’s video, post a teaser about it
and fail to provide a video link, forcing folks to visit
their lame blog.

This new pimp seems to be of the excerpter variety.
The is no reason for bloggers to excerpt from their
blogs other than trolling for hits.

Durenberger is his boss. That explains it.

Have you ever had those gross stadium nachos where the bright yellow "cheese" topping comes out of a pump?

The cheese is kind of the color of the plastic seats in a bus station.

I don't like that kind of cheese.
