Doesn’t matter how excellent her voting record is, she can’t win statewide in MN. She could barely hold her GOP House seat. Pawlenty has at least won statewide twice. At this point, we’re not going to get a Tea Party type out of MN. Better someone who will vote our way 75% of the time than 0% like Frankenstein.
Her opposition out-spent her 2:1 and had the local liberal media against her. AND SHE STILL WON.
That says a lot.
Governor "Green Jeans" and his ethanol subsidies policies are still screwing with us even without him in Office.
Jason would destroy Franken in a head-to-head debate. There would be NO way for the local media to spin it. Unlike the Coleman debacle.
You don't run a "moderate" against a Leftist in this State and expect to win. You run a conservative who can articulate the message and you CAN win. I live in Wright County, the most conservative county in the State, we stand as proof of this. Don't jettison the Base and we'll show up at the polls for you.
Redistricting was also not kind to Bachmann. It also wasn't kind to Chip Craavack, who lost CD-8 which he won two years previous.
