When is the independence party going to get moving?

The IP is so dead.

yeah go BUSH! whoops I mean KENNEDY! Sometimes i get them confused...oh well

"Backs it up" only in the sense that it shows Klobuchar leading. I didn't hear a lot of people dispute that. The problem many had with the Minnesota Poll was that the margin was clearly off the mark (NPI). This backs poll backs up that belief, as the margin is significantly different and probably more realistic. If you're still not sure, ask yourself this, "What has Mark Kennedy done in the last month that would have shot his numbers up by 7 percent, a pretty big amount?"

Ya.

"What has Mark Kennedy done in the last month...?"

Well, how about running his first campaign ad? Which, though I am as far from a Kennedy supporter as you can get, is actually a fantastic ad. 7 point bump in a poll with probably a +-3 or 4 margin of error? Gee, that's crazy! Must be a conspiracy.

I hope Hatch has some dirt of Pawlenty (he's always looked like a child rapist to me) that he can pull out at the last minute or this state is gonna remain in the shitter for 6 more years.

Raindog,

Guvs serve 4 years. US Senators serve 6 years. Minnesota went from 2 year terms to 4 year terms for governors after Elmer L. Andersen served in the 1960s.

Thanks for the civics lesson...it just SEEMS like 6 years and I am pawlenty tired of this suburban, redneck, weenie gov (Jesse-Lite) we have had for the past 7-8 years.

And I don't see how anyone could have a problem with my assertion that PAWLENTY looks like a "CHILD RAPIST" to me. I'm not saying PAWLENTY IS A CHILD RAPIST I am just saying he looks like a CHILD RAPIST.

See the difference? Slander free!

20 years of KKKarl Rove has taught me all about tolerance.
