Wasn’t it Cheney who personally called Paw Lenty - to get him bumped off the senate run?

And then they awarded him a ton of support for Governor…
Its quite surprising for one of Steve Cannon’s characters to go into politics.

High time now for the GOP collapse to spread to John Kline.

I hope you get the chance to read an op-ed in today’s Washington Post, in which a former Marine Corps Commandant and a national security lawyer from the Reagan administration are bringing up the term “war crimes” in condemning the lawlessness of the Bush administration, in its Waffling On Torture. (Is this expression of righteous anger, from the solid right wing, enough to penetrate the idiot media echo chamber narrative of “opposition to the Bush administration = left wing, by definition”?)

What this has to do with John Kline: the image of a senior Marine officer under Reagan naturally brings one image directly to mind, for those of us in the southern suburbs of Minneapolis: John Kline, our man in the House of Representatives, who loves to conjure up old images of himself in uniform rubbing shoulders with Reagan for his campaigns.

With one of the authors of this incendiary attack on Bush’s Waffling On Torture having been the Commandant of the Marine Corps under Reagan, at the same time that Kline was a Marine colonel and aide to Reagan, Kline must be familiar with the Commandant under whom he served.

So the question for Kline is: do you think your hero Reagan’s Marine Commandant has a good point, that Waffling On Torture is a disgrace and a betrayal of American values? Or are you going to keep lockstep with Bush in what your former superior officer, appointed Commandant under Reagan, believes to be a danger to our own troops and an open invitation to war crimes under the Geneva Conventions?

With the Congress approval rating at below 20%, Klobuchar may be the most popular senator in the country! If she can replace Reid, it would be Pelosi and Klobuchar leading both chambers with Clinton at the helm. Happy days are here again!

Hope she can keep it up for another 5 years! With the Congress approval rating below 20% she may be the most popular senator in the country. Harry Reid might be tested sooner than he thinks. Imagine, Pelosi and Klobuchar leading both chambers with Clinton at the helm! Happy days are here again!

I’d like to see a graph with both Amy’s numbers AND Normy’s numbers.

Coleman 2008 = Kennedy 2006

I bet TPaw is glad Karl Rove picked Normy to run for Senate in 2002.

Has there been any new polls out testing Franken and Ciresi versus Coleman?

All there is is the NPR poll back in May that had Coleman ahead of both and Franken having a higher disapproval than approval.

Now that several months have passed and Coleman is tanking (though it is still too early to crow just yet) I wonder if things have changed.

Otherwise, this is great news. I am not from Minnesota but it sounds like Minnesota has a real leader in Klobuchar.
