Strib story on Hatch and endorsement yanked from online

[Minnesota Raindog]

There is a story in the print edition of the Strib today about Hatch running in the primary if he "comes close" to winning the endorsement. Curiously, the article has been removed from the Strib's website. It's not even in the archives.

Even though that position of Hatch's has been known for some time, this is what caught my eye:

(from the article

If he doesn't get close, he said, "I would run for attorney general. It's a job I love. I like to think I'm pretty good at it."

So wouldn't that be a nice situation to find ourselves in: Becky Lourey stomps Hatch for the endorsement, we get a real progressive for a governor's candidate AND the bonus: Poor Millionaire Matt Entenza has nowhere to go if Hatch runs for his current job. With any luck, by that time, the House DFL Caucus will have given The Great Pretenza the boot as minority leader and we could be rid of this creep.

3. Lourey is the best canidiate for Gov

The public will get turned off by a Hatch-Pawlenty nonstop sniping campaign.
