			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/branding-logo-small.gif"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-15660" title="branding-logo-small" src="http://minnesotaindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/branding-logo-small.gif" alt="" width="273" height="59" /></a><strong>UPDATED: </strong>Roll Call reports that the National Republican Congressional Committee is putting $11,200 into <a href="http://www.rollcall.com/news/29675-1.html">mailings meant to reduce voter support for David Dillon, the Independence Party candidate</a> who&#8217;s running a distant third in the 3rd Congressional District race. While that&#8217;s a puny figure compared to the <a href="http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/2008/campaign/advertising/spending/">fortunes spent for TV ads by both major party candidates</a> and their allies &#8212; which this morning stands at $7,095,101 &#8212; Roll Call sees significance in the move because the latest poll showed Republican state Sen. Erik Paulsen and his Democratic opponent Ashwin Madia <a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/15108/cd3-new-poll-paulsen-says-hes-right-of-ramstad">effectively tied</a> at 45 and 44 percentage points, respectively, with 9 percent of likely voters preferring &#8220;some other candidate.&#8221; A scan of the piece and more after the jump.</p>
<p><span id="more-15651"></span>After naming him in the question posed in <a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/12413/kstpsurveyusa-poll-madia-leads-paulsen-46-43-percent">a poll earlier this month</a>, Survey USA oddly dropped a direct reference to Dillon when it polled 642 likely voters Oct. 26–27. (The <a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/15108/cd3-new-poll-paulsen-says-hes-right-of-ramstad">pollster hasn&#8217;t yet responded to MnIndy&#8217;s request</a> to explain why references to third party support have been inconsistent in its three surveys of the 3rd District.) If you get an anti-Dillon mailing, <a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/13051/we-want-to-read-your-direct-mail">please share it</a> with MnIndy.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> <a href="http://www.mncampaignreport.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=2055">Joe Bodell at Minnesota Campaign Report</a> has this high-contrast scan of the mailer and <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">speculates </span>writes that it&#8217;s being sent to Democrats. His theory goes that the NRCC might be using reverse psychology (if &#8220;reverse&#8221; is quite the right term in a three-way race) to draw Dems to Dillon by chargin him with being too far left politically.</p>
