MinnCentral is right, Coleman's contest is harder for him. He now has to distance himself from Bush AND Bachmann.<BR/><BR/>What about John Kline? Has Sarvi made the connection - Bachmann is Kline's protege. <BR/><BR/>What kind of dance step will Kline have to do now?<BR/><BR/>BlueMan - You've said little about Sarvi lately.

I am no fan of Bachmann (having ridiculed her in my blog for her tax proposals to saving the light bulb), but her ego got in front of her. She has enjoyed the national media spotlight from Laura Ingram to FOX and Larry King, finding them to be very friendly … why she would ever go on Hardball is just plain stupid … but that’s Bachmann.<BR/>Tink may not the most exciting candidate and he will be a Blue Dog. With the House being controlled by Democrats, there may be some in-fighting, but Minnesota and the country will be better represented. <BR/><BR/>Minnesotans have seen circumstances change elections in the past. Remember Paul Wellstone being helped by a letter sent out by incumbent Rudy Boschwitz and Norm Coleman being helped by Rick Kahn’s speech at Wellstone’s memorial.<BR/><BR/>I wonder how much this will affect Coleman. Republicans wanted to throw him under the bus before, and with McCain on the top of the ticket, will they just not show up ? Will people write in Aubrey Immelman to show their displeasure and still vote for Coleman ? Will Barkley benefit from this … or is he destined to be the spoiler ?Minnesota Centralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462056292830437795noreply@blogger.com
