		<description>Care to make a bet that you will not see 10% of the vote? ;)

Oh wait, what about the fact the DFL is bnot going to give you their support so will you run if the DFL supports Al Franken?

Because we already know Al has bought his spot for the DFL nod.

I am hoping you will still run as you will take a good 3-4% from Franken which will just help Norm out even more. :)</description>

		<description>Big Kahuna:

There is this woooooooonderful mix of people that I refer to as the &quot;Non Voter&quot; This group generally outnumbers the registered voter.

In this particular race I will be targeting this class, In addition to the Democratic Party, Independence Party, and the die hard pro-life Republican.

So chances are, I will appeal to quite a few people in all parties, while respecting the Independence Party platform at this time.

Broom 48%
Franken 8%
Coleman 40%
Other   4%

I am banking my whole first term on the fact that I will waive your co-pay on prescription drugs no matter who your insurance provider is.

This plan will not raise taxes 1cent.

.....plus Bob tell um what he&#039;s won......FREE CASH....THAT&#039;S RIGHT 3TO100 DOLLARS CASH BACK DEPENDING ON THE SAVINGS OF THE DRUG ORDERED.

and ya know what, I can&#039;t even bitch that no one&#039;s saying thank you,
because quite a few people told me exactly that  at the Minnesota State Fair.

Oh gee I cannot wait to take over the prison systems prescription drug plans either and save a kazillion dollars there to for my fellow human beings.</description>

		<description>Wellstone TV, have you finished your investigation of the Wellstone crash. It sure seems like the theory of him taking the plane down himself seems very plausible. let&#039;s face it, neither he or his followers were going to take the loss to Norm very well so wouldn&#039;t it be easier to just check out while on top of the game than to fall into obscurity?

Also, I think you will be very lucky to get 4-5 % of the vote for Senate. Do you really think normal honest Americans would ever support you? ;)</description>

		<description>....and Senator Craig:

I don&#039;t care if you are the next Albert Einstien, Sick, perverted sex offenders over rule any brilliant qualities that a human being may have.

...and do you really think this was Senator Craigs 1st time and a undercover cop just happened to be in the stall next to him...

This is repetitive behavior from Senator Craig and he needs to resign.

I for one do forgive you sir. Anyone with a heartbeat can be saved if they are truely sorry.

For America though please resign, Please don&#039;t pull an O.J. Simpson when we know you are guilty.</description>

		<description>There is no human being that could of stopped the bridge failure. I believe I know why it happened, but my belief would be waaaaaaay to frightening for anyone to accept, so I&#039;ll leave it at that.

Anyone who is blaming Governor Tim Pawlenty on this needs to check themselves.

Don&#039;t get me wrong, I am not a fan of the MURDEROUS RNC, but in Pawlenty&#039;s defense, he beat Mike Hatch during the same time period, that Mark Kennedy lost to Amy K. by 20points or so.

Pawlenty is a rare breed of Republicans and you all need to lay of and relax.

For sake of argument though if more cash is available from the Federal government for transportation needs we take it regardless, and thats the bottum line, even if we don&#039;t need it feed the homeless or do something with it, just don&#039;t turn down free cash.

GOVERNOR PAWLENTY IS THE ONLY PRAYER THE RNC HAS FOR A NEXT REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT.

EVEN ICE-T TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF TO ENDORSE MYSELF FOR PRESIDENT BEFORE HIS OWN CO-WORKER FRED THOMPSON FROM LAW AND ORDER,

UNLESS GOVERNOR PAWLENTY RUNS AS A #1 FOR THE RNC FOR THIS ELECTION...HILLARY CLINTON IS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

HOW DO I KNOW YOU ASK? TELL YA WHAT, IF I&#039;M WRONG I WILL HAVE MYSELF CASTRATED AND DONATE MY BALLS TO SCIENCE....And I LOVE MY BALLS.

IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ALL OF YOU?

Other than that I would like to take this oppertunity to thank you all in advance for your vote for my United States Senate Run,

Also check out the front page of the St. Paul Legal-Ledger, I&#039;m on the front page.....yeah yeah, I know I&#039;m one sexy bitch.</description>

		<description>The Governor, who by the way negotiated the largest and second largest increase to the funding formula as Majority leader, then Guv, (1999, 2005) actually proposed more for education than the DFL this year.

He said he would have a special session to vote on a transportation bill with a tax increase, and a tax bill that would increase LGA.

Now Mpls leaders in the Legislature say they are no longer interested in a transportation bill or a tax bill!

It is becoming clear that the only thing the DFL cares about is trying to make the Governor look bad.

He is taking care of business and under emergency powers can spend what ever it takes to clean up the flood mess and rebuild the bridge.  No wonder his numbers are at an all time high.</description>

		<description>School funding is definitely going up at a pace much faster than inflation - to deny it is foolish.  You can&#039;t just look at the raw numbers - you have to look at per/pupil funding.

The Teacher&#039;s Union is doing a great job of trying to tie more funding to better schools when in fact it really has just been paying for higher pay packages that are exceeding both the inflation rate and the amount of school funding.</description>

		<description>Swiftee--Beg to differ, but $4,384,973,848 (two years ago, just before the DFL took control over both houses of the Legislature) is not an increase over $4,490,104,858 (the spending the first year Governor Pawlenty was in office). There may be a yearly average increase of 3.5% when taken over a period of eleven years, but it is irrefutable that that is not the same as an increase every year of 3.5% on average.</description>
