The DFL endorsed candidate for governor is a spineless weasel--vote for MARK DAYTON

[Minnesota Raindog]

Margaret Anderson-Kelliher ran from the big bully in the governor's office with her tail tucked between her legs, and she has the nerve to put out this kind of tripe claiming "victory" in the 2010 legislative session.

NEWS RELEASE
SPEAKER KELLIHER COMMENTS ON BALANCED BUDGET

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ST. PAUL, MN – The Minnesota Legislature stood up to Governor Pawlenty, and stood up for Minnesotans to balance the state budget while protecting jobs, schools, and nursing homes. Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher had this to sayabout the 2010 Legislative Session:

“DFLers stood up forMinnesotans. We stood up to Tim Pawlenty and ‘Just Say No’ Republicans. Standing together Democrats fought for a responsible, balanced budget to protect students, create jobs, and make health care more affordable.

“I led DFLers in strong opposition to the governor all session. We stood together. We fought the governor’s illegal unallotments, and won. We fixed the fiscal crisis he created.

“We fought tooth and nail for every job, every Minnesota family, every student, and every senior in every nursing home. Facing impossible odds, we made real progress.

“Standing together, we protected and created more than 50,000 jobs – including 22,000 good paying health care jobs.

“We secured $1.4 billion in federal funding to keep our hospitals strong – money from Minnesota taxpayers that would otherwise have gone to other states.

“We covered 102,000 Minnesotans, and fixed GAMC. We made tangible reforms that will make health care more affordable for all Minnesotans.

“We protected our students and the people who teach them from permanent cuts. We protected our senior citizens from any budget cuts.

“We met the serious challenges facing Minnesota with leadership and courage. Standing together, we protected the state we love, and the hard working families that make Minnesota great.”

1. Vote for Dayton?

That's my plan.

[glinda]

3. Mark DOES have a lot of integrity and smarts. He is going to take a lot of crap

though. He's tough though.

[Morning Dew]

4. I just hope he's tough enough - Right now, he's my top choice.

Good to see you Glinda!

[glinda]

6. U 2 Dew! I am more worried about how people perceive him during all the garbage that

is going to start flying with lies, innuendoes, etc....

[Angry Dragon]

2. Please.........I need more information

Is she a klobuchar??

[becxx]

5. Kelliher = Klobuchar

Kelliher and Klobuchar both talk a good game and deliver NOTHING! I did not vote for Klobuchar to have her fight her best fight for "baggage fees" when 16 million kids are hungry in the USA, millions are unemployed, millions are losing their homes and everything, millions have no health insurance, etc. Kelliher is the same queen of trivia. When all is said and done she enables funding for stadiums and ritzy arts programs while failing to adequate protect heatlh are for the poorest. One has to look at what Kelliher actually does just as one has to look at what sell-out Klobuchar actually does.

I too am voting for Dayton.

Kelliher won't do anything if she is elected anyway. The conservative Dems will block any effective changes such as health care reform and all Kelliher will think about is appointing her friends to well paid positions and getting re-elected.

With Dayton we might have a chance of getting some real change. Dayton is honest and Kelliher and totally phony and insincere.
