Former Republican Sen. Rudy Boschwitz has signed on to help the struggling campaign of Joel Demos, the GOP-endorsed candidate challenging Rep. Keith Ellison. Boschwitz will help with the “campaign committee and finance committee,” the Star Tribune reports.
Boschwitz served in the United States Senate until 1990 when he was defeated by Paul Wellstone. He’s been a top fundraiser GOPers, including George W. Bush. Boschwitz told the Star Tribune that helping Demos is aimed at helping Tom Emmer.
“And if we have a strong showing in the 5th District — which is principally the City of Minneapolis — we enormously enhance the probability of keeping the Minnesota Governorship. That is crucial,” he said.
Demos is an associate pastor who said the end-times could come as early as 2009 and that “the spirit of the anti-Christ is on the rise.”

Demos doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in the Fifth, and Boschwitz should know it. He is just being used as a pawn to help Emmer. How he will help Emmer in the Fifth is more than I can tell. A “strong showing” by him is out of the question–the best anyone can hope for is that he doesn’t humiliate himself too badly.

Let The Best Conservative Win!
Since Barb White filed to challenge Ellison in the DFL primary on Aug 10, I’ve heard it said that Barb would be easier to beat than Ellison.
So if this is true then wouldn’t it be a good strategy to vote for Barb Davis White in the DFL primary on Aug 10!
If you believe you have the best candidate then vote for Barb and let the voters decide who is the best constitutional conservative.
Let The Best Conservative Win !

“Demos is an associate pastor who said the end-times could come as early as 2009″.
I don’t recall that — did the end times come last year and I missed it?
Should’a paid more attention, I guess.

Ellison ever pay his tickets? Moneyapolis deserves what it chose… congestion, ever increasing taxation, high density housing, gangs, murders, neighborhoods looking like third world countires and panhandler on every other corner. Isn’t diversity great. Enjoy.
