Paul Demko, at Politics in Minnesota has a well-written lengthy analysis, this opening screenshot:

The PIM Headline is, "Senate majority leader to play crucial role on gaming proposals."
The screenshot gives only the brief opening of an item that is well written, and thorough. It mentions Jungbauer, but strangely doing a word search of the post, for "geoff" and "michel" yielded nothing. Geoff Michel is a nothing in this inner party thing? Hopefully so.
________________UPDATE______________
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE: I wonder in terms of the inner party, how Harry Niska positions himself on the gambling question, Niska being a former Jungbauer campaign treasurer, Ramsey council candidate, and present head of the "SD48 Republicans" local inner party mavens.
Presuming he still has public office ambitions, it would be a nice thing to know NOW, where Niska stands. Jungbauer in the PIM item is noted as pro-gambling expansion.
So, leaving the local aside and getting back to statewide things Republican, the Tuesday after-Amy match; after reading that Dec. 23 PIM item, I strongly recommend reading a parallel Dec. 23 Deets post, which overlaps PIM somewhat, but goes elsewhere while painting with a broader brush, and linking to Sarah Janecek inner party facebooking. And that anon comment about Sheehan, possibly/possibly not the first stone thrower --- gossip and insight - all educational --- THIS LINK.
Kohler of The Deets does interesting things, and while I don't mess away time with Twitter/Facebook, Ed likes Twitter, and did this for which we must give praise. For the effort to sweep away uncertainties.
