Thought for today. Worth the time it takes you to read it.

Established Republicans, the base, are intent to keep Minnesota's Sixth District after Bachmann the national laughingstock it's been for years. Emmer, he is up to the task. They do worry that such an agenda might be upset by Joe Perske. Name calling - woo woo:

Simply put, Perske is just another tax-raising liberal. His history is littered with raising propert taxes and spending money foolishly.

In 2010, I wrote that Tarryl faced an uphill climb against Michele Bachmann. Tarryl lost by 13 points, the biggest winning margin in Michele’s congressional career. If Republicans work hard this year, the DFL will look at the Michele vs. Tarryl as the good old days.

Tom Emmer is a great fit for the district. He’s fiscally conservative, which is important. Most importantly, he’s a reform-minded conservative.

"... another tax-raising liberal" said with clear scorn.

Oh no! Say it ain't so, Joe.
