Yesterday, New Jersey Governor and Chairman of the Republican Governors Association Chris Christie visited the Twin Cities to campaign with MNGOP gubernatorial challenger Jeff Johnson (and MNGOP Senate hopeful Mike McFadden) at the Global Academy public charter school in Columbia Heights.

We put McFadden's name in parentheses because his presence sorta gave off the vibe of an affection-starved friend who crashes his buddy's big date because he's got nowhere else to be.

McFadden tagged along during a tour of the school, but things got a little uncomfortable during a news conference that concluded the campaign stop. Here's how reporters who were at the event described the scene.

1. McFadden has taken pathetic to a new level

Check out his facebook page. He was posting a countdown to the replay of his first debate. Four hours to go, three hours to go.....

a whole 40,000 followers

I have seen a grand total of one McFadden lawn sign so far

If you check the last Survey USA poll he suffered a 20 point drop by male voters. He went from up 5 to down 15

McFadden is such an irritating dork. And his ads are just awful, even for a GOPer.
