I read in multiple places today that Brodkorb is Paulsen’s “spokesman”. Gee, he didn’t disclose it on his own site?

Don’t you think the republicans are having a cow over the fact that they have been outed for the push polling they are paying for here in the 3rd?!

I bet Promark is listed on Paulsen’s campaign filings. And if Erik didn’t pay for this, bet the state GOP did on Erik’s behalf, and it is on THEIR records.

Looks like Michael is postin’ “the partial truth and nuthin’ but it”, over on MDE. He just tossed up a post about the Madia Campaign, with this “disclaimer”:

This is a reminder that I am a part-time research consultant to Erik Paulsen for Congress. Minnesota Democrats Exposed is my personal blog and it is not created, endorsed, sponsored, or authorized by any political party, candidate, or candidate’s committee. MDE

Unreal. The same day Michael’s quoted as “spokesman” on MPR, he doesn’t disclose it on his blog.

Who else isn’t surprised?

Well, it’s gotta remembered - John “Semper Never” Kline set the republiCon bar mighty low. But Paulsen seems ready to jump in the gutter with him….

My bad…

I got it figured that if you have a pantie-sniffer for a spokesperson, what does that say about your campaign? Sure won’t fit in with the other Republicans like Vittner, Craig and well the bunch of them.

In fairness, TPT said “ONE of the most dishonest”.

Now, now since Norm Coleman is still in the race, don’t be calling anybody else “the most dishonest candidates Minnesota politics has ever seen.” It will just get him upset…

Well, well, well.

Paulsen claims that congress is broken, and he’s gonna fix it.

ROFLMAO!!

Under Newt Gingrich’s “Contract On America”, republiCon leadership radically altered the nature of power in the House, firmly entrenching power in House Leadership. It’s so bad, that it’s accurate to say with regards to GOP congresscritters:

“The people elect, but GOP Leadership directs.”

And now Paulsen is taking help from Eric Cantor, Chief Deputy Whip??!?

Like Paulsen will be able to reform anything, bein’ in debt to the Chief Deputy Whip.

Erik Paulsen is quickly proving to be one of the most dishonest candidates Minnesota politics has ever seen.

Per a report from Northern Virginia yesterday Paulsen’s “new” press secretary is on loan from Eric Cantor. She’s taking a “leave of absence” to work for Paulsen. Interesting. Did he previously have one? Does he even have staff? Seems like a little late in the game to be needing to find some paid staff.
