1. It would be interesting
To see what would happend if El were to get in.

I have seen and heard Bob Olson, and walked away thinking ‘eh’. I know a few former delegates felt similar about Bob Hill, whom I did not see.

Bob Hill has raised a good amount of cash and you would think he would have the DCCC blessing if that is the case.

If Tink were to get into the race, full court press - not dilly dally around like last time, I think I could move to his corner. I was an opponent of Tink last time around but he began to grow on me toward the end of the endorsement season. Had I not been in a Wetterling sub caucus I may have tossed my support his way in convention.

He would have a leg up over the others with 6th district delegates for the nomination if he gets in.

We need to get the guy or gal who will give Bachmann the biggest run for her, and national republican’s money. Tarryl Clark of St. Cloud would be the ideal dream candidate the DCCC should be looking for in my opinion.
