Comments on: Court: “No systemic problem of disenfranchisement” http://mnpublius.com/2009/02/court-no-systemic-problem-of-disenfranchisement/ Tracking Minnesota Politics Since 2005 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 14:13:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Holly Cairns http://mnpublius.com/2009/02/court-no-systemic-problem-of-disenfranchisement/#comment-32702 Holly Cairns Mon, 23 Feb 2009 16:24:40 +0000 http://mnpublius.com/?p=4574#comment-32702 Did anyone see Senator Al with Tom Hauser this week? Actually, last week? I saw a rebroadcast this weekend. Ack! Finger pointing Tom really badgered by asking the same question four times (he didn't like Sen Al's answer the first three times, apparently). Talk about tension. Thank God Hauser didn't moderate the Rochester debate. What Republican slant! Meanwhile, no representation, yet. Can't our State legislators clarify they want Richie to appoint/ issue a writ to fill the vacancy? We need SOMEONE in there (and the recount did show Senator Franken to have won the election...) HELLO! Representation! Want it now! Did anyone see Senator Al with Tom Hauser this week? Actually, last week? I saw a rebroadcast this weekend.

First, here's a link about what Republicans have been about regarding elections: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PX_PZYXy-UU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUU4FCsp_Xw Style of communication is something everyone should look up to help understand each other. Wikipedia, Google is fine. Another recent source says the types are: expert, romantic, warrior, and mastermind. These described as the dominating communication style (most skilled at and prefer to use upon meeting people) with secondary styles resorted to, down to the style least skilled at and most exhausting. Then, Wiki "thinking-fallacies" or "group think"... I'd like to see some nice people grow a little while they're on my field of vision here. Would you do that for me so I can like you?

When John Cornyn, who chairs the NRSC, was asked how long Norm should keep going, he was quoted as saying, "However long it takes...He realizes how important retaining this seat is to us." Obstuction and more obstruction - that is the Republican way.

Watch this drama come to a swift and abrupt end as Norm's money pipeline gets shut down.
