but it's Elmer Andersen Title: Re: Minnesota Republican ex-governor endorses Kerry Post by: ilikeverin on October 13, 2004, 08:31:34 PM \/\/007
Title: Re: Minnesota Republican ex-governor endorses Kerry Post by: MN-Troy on October 13, 2004, 08:43:27 PM I thought it was Arnie Carlson.
But Elmer Andersen? I can't believe it! This state went from a lean Kerry to a super solid Kerry with that endorsement. Title: Re: Minnesota Republican ex-governor endorses Kerry Post by: CARLHAYDEN on October 13, 2004, 09:08:16 PM He means 'Clyde.'
A smarter (not to mention) handsomer version of Clyde appeared in a couple of movies with Clint Eastwood. Title: Re: Minnesota Republican ex-governor endorses Kerry Post by: No more McShame on October 13, 2004, 09:08:49 PM Wow, that makes news. A guy who was governor over 40 years ago endorses the opposite party. Only in the Red Star :).
Title: Re: Minnesota Republican ex-governor endorses Kerry Post by: tinman64 on October 14, 2004, 12:43:32 AM I thought it might be Harold E. Stassen, having come back to the land of the living.
Title: Re: Minnesota Republican ex-governor endorses Kerry Post by: Democratic Hawk on October 14, 2004, 08:07:22 AM After Zell and Koch et al, it's good to see Republicans endorsing Kerry.
Dave Title: Re: Minnesota Republican ex-governor endorses Kerry Post by: DFLofMN on October 14, 2004, 10:33:31 AM MN will be close, but definitely Kerry in Nov.
Title: Re: Minnesota Republican ex-governor endorses Kerry Post by: ilikeverin on October 14, 2004, 10:34:45 AM MN will be close, but definitely Kerry in Nov. What he said. Title: Re: Minnesota Republican ex-governor endorses Kerry Post by: AuH2O on October 14, 2004, 11:27:31 AM Too bad St. Paul's current mayor, as opposed to some mummy the Dems dredged up, endorsed Bush... Kelly of course being a Democrat.
The GOP has actually been pretty united this cycle, though the media occasionally spins tales of dissent in the ranks. It would be there, actually, if some idiots in Iowa hadn't nominated Kerry. Imagine a real candidate against Bush. Title: Re: Minnesota Republican ex-governor endorses Kerry Post by: they don't love you like i love you on October 14, 2004, 01:24:09 PM Kelly's a DINO. Way pro-business, vetoes all sorts of smoking bans and property tax increases, the DFL leadership HATES him. There's a good chance he'll be recalled since everyone in St. Paul hates his worthless ass too. Even if he doesn't he'll lose in a landslide in 2005, want to bet money on him being reelected? lol.
Title: Re: Minnesota Republican ex-governor endorses Kerry Post by: DFLofMN on October 14, 2004, 02:06:38 PM Kelly is only a mayor and a political unknown to the rest of MN, never much of a player in the DFL. Funny, how he was running out to meet Bush at the airport when he came here before he openly endorsed him, hmmmm. Well his political career is toast here! Sucks to be him!
Title: Re: Minnesota Republican ex-governor endorses Kerry Post by: MN-Troy on October 14, 2004, 04:05:09 PM Kelly's a DINO.

There's a good chance he'll be recalled since everyone in St. Paul hates his worthless ass too. Even if he doesn't he'll lose in a landslide in 2005, want to bet money on him being reelected? lol. The recall Randy Kelly effort is based on shaky grounds. Just because Mayor Kelly endorsed President Bush and might differ on policy is not grounds to reverse a city wide election.

The recall Randy Kelly effort is based on shaky grounds. Just because Mayor Kelly endorsed President Bush and might differ on policy is not grounds to reverse a city wide election. Exactly. I remember watching Hannity and Colmes once. Susan Estrich was filling in for Alan Colmes. She was so delighted that there would be a recall on the guy just because he supported Bush. She was almost laughing at him during the interview. Title: Re: Minnesota Republican ex-governor endorses Kerry Post by: DFLofMN on October 14, 2004, 05:15:01 PM I think his political career is over after his term is up, I highly doubt he would be successfully recalled. He can think what he wants to, but I don't think he has much influence.
Title: Re: Minnesota Republican ex-governor endorses Kerry Post by: they don't love you like i love you on October 14, 2004, 08:10:05 PM He has no chance of winning reelection, I doubt he'll even run again if he survives. He won by only about 400 votes last time. I think this endorsement alone has cost him more than 400 votes.
Title: Re: Minnesota Republican ex-governor endorses Kerry Post by: freewayticket on October 15, 2004, 09:13:49 AM All I can say is Typical Star Tribune story.
Title: Re: Minnesota Republican ex-governor endorses Kerry Post by: they don't love you like i love you on October 15, 2004, 11:22:48 AM This is an editorial. The guy wrote it himself. The Star Tribune's bias isn't relevant in this case.
