I have no doubt I will not fill out the census to eliminate any re-election possibilities in the 6th district. And there are many, many people who will follow suit. They like to play games, and so do we. Michelle told me not to fill it out, so I’m not very worried about the law. Come on people, stand up against the census and Bachmann.

Finally … the candidate is finally understanding why he lost.
Coleman articulated this reason for having lost his re-election battle to Franken last year: his yes vote on bailout bills to stave off a depression in October 2008. “But for the collapse of the economy, I don’t think the race would have been close,” he said.

Duh … 63,203 McCain voters did not vote for Coleman … they went to Barkley whose message was about Coleman’s votes that drove up the debt. Fiscal conservatives helped throw Coleman under the bus.
Don’t blame ACORN or Ritchie, it was fiscal conservatives that were willing to risk that Franken wouldn’t win and voted against Coleman.

This is not good news for Clark. Within the 6th Congressional District, Franken only received 33% of the vote compared to Coleman’s 49%. Tarryl Clark is positioning herself as much too liberal for the district. Maureen Reed gives the Democrats the best, and I think only, chance to beat Bachmann next November.
