This morning's Dispatch Opinion tells us about the 'Bad News' coming and then tell us the candidates for the Legislature aren't talking about the state budget shortfall. At the bottom, Dispatch editorialists say the "topic isn't one our candidates are featuring in their literature". I suppose that's true if they're only watching the incumbent's material. All of mine includes the words Lower Taxes and Less Government and that's posted prominently on all the buttons, doorknocking cards, buttons, billboards and the web site.
What does Lower Taxes and Less Government mean to these people?

One more Norm visit!
US Senator Norm Coleman will be in Brainerd one more time early on election day, November 4th. He'll be doing a 48-hour marathon of cities in the final two days of this election cycle. Wow! 1:30am at Perkins on Washington. Your choice; the finish to a fun night or the beginning of an exciting day. No other invitation is necessary. See you there.
Three days left!
And a sprint to the finish line!
What a fantastic journey this has been! And fairly clean! My opponent has planted a few words in my mouth and some weird and totally untrue rumors have found their way back to me, but other than that, an absolute dearth of negative campaigning. As far as I know. We talked about it last spring, this seeming need for those running for public office to dish the dirt. I was told that the dividing line between above-board campaign challenges had to be based on the opponent's record and that's what I've tried to concentrate on. I know both of us have spent most of our time on portraying ourselves as the better choice, as opposed to how bad the other guy's character seems to be. That seems like a good first step away from the gutter politics all of us are tired of.
Don't forget to vote on Tuesday. The only poll that counts is the one that's taken on November 4th.
