Is the GOP crying Wolf?

Posted by Jeff

Today to members of the GOP filed a formal complaint about a comment made yesterday on Twitter by the Horner Campaign, the question is "did the Horner Campaign gain inside information based upon Tom Horner's position and relationship with Decision Resources LTD?"

Several facts in the case stand for themselves.

  • The Horner Campaign received the results after they were released exclusively to the Pioneer Press.
  • The posting on Twitter was made almost 24 hours after the results were released to the Pioneer Press.
  • Any candidate could have requested the results from Decision Resources LTD.

With little question it "appears" that the GOP is crying wolf. Tom Emmer's minor bump in the polls thanks to the GOP convention is long gone and now his campaign knows they trail all three DFL candidates by a comfortable margin. Support for Horner continues to grow. Whether it is 12%, 15% or 18% is not the point but rather that Horner's percentage continues to grow is.
