Palin also endorsed a female State Senator in neighboring Minnesota, Julianne Ortman, to run against Frankenstein.
I think that’s the right call also.
The best funded Republican is rich guy Mike McFadden, a RINO, or so it would seem. Freepers say bad things about him. It appears he’s one of those candidates that tries to be as vague as possible in his positions.
He’s been endorsed by Norm Coleman, Rudy Boschwitz, Vin Weber, and Rob Grams (before he died). I think Ortman is his main competition.
That race should be on the radar. Franken’s numbers are crap even against these second and third tier candidates.
Last poll by SurveyUSA in early March has Franken leading Ortman by 8%, McFadden by 10%, Chris Dahlberg by 8%, and Paubot Jim Abeler by 12%.
