Emmer will ask the State Canvasing Board to do...

Posted by Jeff Labels: , , ,

Exactly what the Minnesota Supreme Court refused to do.

FROM MPR
Now, attorneys for Republican Tom Emmer are expected to ask the five member State Canvassing Board to do what the Supreme Court didn't -- require local
elections officials to match up the number of ballots cast with the number of voters who signed in on Election Day.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the Canvasing Board will decline Mr. Emmer's request as well, call it hunch.

It appears as if the GOP is on a delaying tactic at this moment.

Former GOP vets fire back at GOP

First Negative Ad to Air starting Thursday

Posted by Jeff Labels: , ,

Article from MPR

The state's Republican Party kicked off the first day of the general election campaign for governor Wednesday by announcing plans to air a TV ad attacking DFL nominee Mark Dayton.


I am actually surprized the GOP is waited this long, they must have some sort of money shortage. I say that because Dayton, while providing ample targets of oppertunity for negative attacks, is the strongest of the three major candidates from the DFL and the GOP had to see an easier road to election with either Entenza or Kelliher on the ticket.

AP Reporting Large Scale spending against Tom Emmer

Posted by Jeff Labels: , ,

Associated Press

The first substantial infusion of interest group money in the Minnesota governor's race is a half-million-dollar TV ad buy from a left-leaning group criticizing Republican Tom Emmer.

The Alliance for a Better Minnesota said Tuesday the ads would air statewide. The group said the spot dissects Emmer's voting record and compares the state legislator to Gov. Tim Pawlenty. A copy wasn't immediately available.

Past campaign reports show the alliance gets its money from labor unions, environmental groups and American Indian tribes.

Minnesota voters are expected to see plenty of advertising from groups not officially connected to candidates. That's because recent court rulings eased restrictions on how money could flow into the system.

A coalition of business groups says it too will be more active in the 2010 campaign than it has been in previous elections.
