In another literature piece from the Entenza for Governor Campaign, Tom Emmer is portrayed alongside Sarah Palin with “Seriously?” prominently displayed above their pictures. Emmer is quoted as saying that Palin is the “gold standard” and Entenza hopes that this connection to the 1/2 term Alaska Governor will be as toxic in Minnesota as it [...]

Matt Entenza, in his quest to win the DFL endorsement, is hitting Republican endorsed candidate Tom Emmer hard in a mailer received today. Rather than hit his DFL opponents directly, Entenza takes shots at Emmer and explains that he is the only candidate who can stand up to the Republican. Entenza quotes Emmer from a [...]

In 2008, Lisa Fobbe (DFL) was able to win the open state senate seat vacated by Betsy Wergin. Her win was due in no small part to the write in candidacy of conservative wife abuser, Mark Olson, that split the Republican vote. This year, however, she is going to have to win a one on [...]

During the recent kerfuffle over slashing wages and tip credits and all the other less than brilliant things Tom Emmer was trying to get across to Minnesota voters, I had the opportunity to sit down and have a drink with Nathan Hansen (R), the Republican endorsed candidate running against Leon Lillie (DFL) in House District [...]

Within the last week, a new piece by Education [...]

In early May, Education Minnesota announced that it would endorse Margaret Anderson Kelliher for Governor. Last week, I and perhaps 70,000 other educators across Minnesota received the first piece of campaign literature from Education Minnesota about why we should support Kelliher.

Some pretty hefty campaign literature arrived in the mail yesterday from the Entenza for Governor campaign. Much of it appears to be a continuation of his television strategy to introduce himself to Minnesota. I call it a booklet because rather than the oversize postcard or front and back poster style that most candidates mail out, [...]

Last week I wrote about the first 6th congressional district campaign literature I received from Maureen Reed. Only days later I received my first piece of literature from Tarryl Clark but have been too busy to get it up. So, without further adieu… The crux of the mailer is concerned with explaining why Clark is [...]

I came home today to find campaign literature from Maureen Reed sitting on the counter. This is perhaps the first literature I have received from any candidate in the 2010 cycle.
