Sure as hell not a Humphrey or a Wellstone. BTW,Mills is a joke. Living off daddy's name and family fame. Got a hunch he is tied to the ALEC and Krotch Group.. Follow the money on this turd. Just another Jesse and Rudy want to be.

at Fleet. New shooting ranges installed. Tons of Monsanto and other products. He has stated he is a big pro-mining person. He is ignorant and only does what he is told and will get rewarded from. He is a sad thing. Pretty boy gone stuuuuuupid.

I've only seen it from a distance in my breakroom at work. And I haven't been close enough to the TV to hear the voiceover. But just the visuals have been very entertaining - especially when he stretches out both arms before his final hair-smooth. Golden!

Kudos to whoever put that ad together!

Yesterday, MPR played a clip of a speech he gave urging a "No" vote on the funding for the Syrian "moderate" rebels (what a crock!). It was a wonderful clip, and I cheered when I heard it.

All for naught, of course, since the bill was passed today. (Bastards!)

picking up a bunch of asshole northern Metro exurb voters.

Someone stole my Rick Nolan yard sign last weekend. The weird thing is, besides the now-missing Nolan sign I also have signs for Franken, Dayton, and Faust (my state House representative). Those are still standing - they only took my Nolan sign.

Pisses me off!

in a first ring western suburb of Minneapolis. Incredible 11 days before the election. Heck, I saw a lot more lawn signs a year ago when the only thing being being elected was the city council (we're a quiet suburb, that's a low key affair around here, and darn near impossible to even guess what those candidates stand for because it is "non-partisan" except that they are all for Mom and Apple Pie, so don't worry kind-of-thing).

Sorry to hear about the missing Nolan sign. Maybe the thief was wise enough not to push his/her luck by trying to get them all or at least some more. I'm guessing it was a strategic decision too -- Of the three (Nolan, Dayton, Franken), I think Nolan is the only one that is in jeopardy (don't know about Faust).

I wonder what the penalty is for stealing them. I've been so.... tempted but the angel on my shoulder says it's just not right. Plus do I really want to complicate my life with a misdemeanor? (maybe worse?).

As for the 8th redistricting -- I heard a guest on AM950 (the local usually progressive talk radio station) said it was only about 1,500 voters (or population?) from the metro that got moved into 8th -- in a district with about 800,000 population...

Whatever, I assume they came from the 6th CD, and that makes it marginally more competitive. I can't find any polling on that race in 10 minutes of Google searching ... Joe Perske v. Tom Emmer <-that's for you Emmer

votes are getting tossed into the garbage on the third candidate. Mills gets in the the great Lakes is sewed up and trashed totally. Kochs move operations in big time. And as for the wildlife????dead. Lots of guns.
