Didn't he give a forum to the woman who tried to accuse Keith of harassment even after it was disputed by the cops and others? Yes. Hmmm. So, will he remain a member of the caucus? Brodkorb has no credibility to plea anything on this. When Dems like Hillary and Obama fight, he finds delight in it and posts it proudly. He was also a partner in trying to tie harassment allegations to Ellison. Is this the same Dimmer that went after Keith Ellison?

In fact, MNPublius had the story the night before but did not post until first thing Wednesday morning. I was asking Matt if he got the story through a particular campaign. As Bluestem Prairie has pointed out, the Davis campaign routinely shops stories to the left wing blogosphere. I wondered if Davis was Matt's source. Kathy,

It would not surprise me how other blogs may have picked up on this. The Demmer articles were already posted on the PB website on Wednesday morning.

This information has been circulating around in the 1st district since Monday (and some have known about it for longer, as Bluestem Prairie pointed out). The guy who sent it to us was one of many who had become conscious of the story since the dirt was kicked up. The real question is who originally kicked the dirt up...

You received the information about Demmer from someone. Why don't you say who gave you the Demmer story? Matt,

This is pretty simple to figure out. Demmer found out that something he has tried to cover up for years might be made public. (By the way, what if it was just somebody who didn't like the fact that this guy has been such a hypocrite for years) He got nervous and tried to spin it in his favor. The problem for him is no matter what he does, he's done. Republicans won't want any part of his problems. If this was a Democrat, we'd do the same thing. This is great. Actually, I hope the conservatives fall in line behind Demmer. When you campaign as a religious conservative, it's best not to have a history of peepholes in women's bathrooms on public record. Ooops! Who is running his campaign? Jim Bakker or Jerry Falwell? Sit back and enjoy the train wreck happen before our eyes... Demmer is the classic, lying, politician just trying to save his skin. Wonder what he'll do next? Sit back and enjoy the ride. I can’t believe what I’m reading. This is pretty simple to figure out.

If MN PUBLIUS attacked Randy Demmer on a personal level rather than posting the suit that was dismissed in 1996, then elephants fly!!! Even I posted on your blog that Demmer "suspects the effort originates in Republican circles, because he’s not even the endorsed candidate to oppose Democrat Tim Walz yet. He also said he received a call from a Republican in Washington, an apparent ally, who had received a package and called to warn him”….a quote from another PB article in the same day’s edition. Michael!!

He doesn't know who's going to be paying him in the 1st, so he can't well report on a move by some-one he might be bought by in a few months, can he? Matt, have some pity on Mike.
