She's walked every district at least four times. How much more do you want than the candidate showing up on your own doorstep four times?!??

Her website offers little to no real information, she has little to no community involvement, and any expressions she does offer are strictly failed Republican boilerplate. I challenge everyone to visit the website and see just how vacuous it is. Unlike Shelley Madore, Mack hasn't even offered to meet with the public on a regular basis to keep them appraised of what is going on at the state legislature. Her forum appearances were so bad even some Republicans in the audience had to turn away in embarrassment. Kevin,

Bob, I live in Madore's district and I've gotten plenty of ads smearing Mack. And I don't know what forums you're watching. Mack offered a variety of ideas. Madore just offered talking points and political BS, which allows her to talk alot without actually committing to anything. Paul I did in fact respond to your request for comment.

What you said is called a demonstrable lie. Meanwhile, I have seen, as with Cybart before her, an avalanche of smear mail directly from the Mack campaign, paid for by large corporate donors. Mack is a political cipher, and has none of community experience Madore has. She couldn't even put together one well-formed idea at any of the forums she bothered to attend. It was an embarrassment.

Maybe Madore isn't paying for smear blitz materials herself, but that's because she leaves it to the State DFL Party to pay and mail it for her. I've received 3 to 4 mailings per week for the last 4 weeks from them smearing Tara Mack and begging for my vote. If Madore is so intent on running a smear free campaign, then she should tell her party bosses in St. Paul to aim their smear blitz money somewhere else. By the way, I'm all too happy to take the DFL calls coming into my house that are smearing Mack too, I figure the longer I keep them talking on the phone, the less time they have to call anybody else!

Rep. Madore never attempted to speak to my wife or myself and we were sitting the table next to her. She spent most of her time talking about her campaign signs and how people need to accept the coming of Obama... I don't blame Tara for staying away from the papers, going door to door allows her to speak one on one with her voters, no biased filter of the media.

An amended report shows that it was from Robert Cummins and his wife. I will not comment on the chances of Madore/Mack winning sense I would be taking sides.

The person in charge of handling violations is on vacation and will be ruling on the matter during th week of October 6. The person taking the call said that it did look like an over the limit contribution and will be asking the campaign to explain. The $1000 contribution that Hal mentioned has been reported to CFB.

Anyone look at her CFB report? Does the 8/1/08 $1000 individual contribution from Robert Cummins violate CFB limits for an individual? Great work. Anyone look at her CFB report?
