When you click on the Dayton/Prettner Solon link, you go to the Anderson Kelliher site. Provoking indeed! On the other side of the aisle, Tom Emmer makes Pawlenty look middle of the road! If you think 8 years or regressive taxes was fun, elect Emmer and let Armageddon begin!

50 kids in a classroom, turning down all federal healthcare (including Medicaid and Medicare) dollars, eliminating MNFHA, abolishing regulations governing chemicals in food and toys, etc.  Yeah, that's not alarmist.

Sometimes the Onion IS reality.

I was not thrilled that Dayton was running, I didn't find his Senate performance all that inspiring. But, the initial polling numbers say he is the top of the field both in primary and in the general. 

Emmer, just seems like a male Bauchmann.

No mention of Rob Hahn, Tom Horner, Matt Entenza, Bob Carney or Leslie Davis.. of course non of them have picked a running mate yet so a few may drop. 

Gotta say I am not too sorry to see Solon go.

Per Facebook, looks like Roger Reinert is going to run for Prettner Solon's seat

Mark Dayton = Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Guilt and medication are not a winning formula for a leader. He's no Lincoln.

Tom Emmer = slave to wingnuts, angry baby boomers and oblivious northern suburbanites of the Twin Cities. Same thing.

M. Anderson Kelliher = um, a back filled Scandinavian surname will win votes in 1910, but not 2010. A bad trend started by Joan (Anderson) Growe.
------------------------------
The nomination system for both parties is killing middle-of-the-road politics in our state. Arne Carlson was the best to beat the DFL and IR political machines. Ventura was the worst and his own worst enemy.

You know who hates bi-partisanship and middle-of the-road? Chubby, middle age guys with dead end jobs, and wealthy talking media heads who exploit middle age guys for their own gain. 

Thanks for continuing to weakening men. Now, go back to your flat screen TV and watch Sports Center and your mentor, Peter Griffin.

I made a reference to Jim Hightower's book about the "middle of the road" and Ernest did a classic Karl Rove and flipped the meaning 180 degrees. The political right wing and corporate media in the US have dragged the meaning of moderate (or bi-partisanship or middle-of-the-road) so far to the right that it doesn't mean anything anymore. Call me a liberal -- hell, call me a socialist. I believe that taxes should be PROgressive and that the government exists to serve the people, not corporations.
