Strib setting Bachmann up for US Senator in 2012

Even though they put here far behind Klobuchar (which is true), between the lines they give her a real chance to knock off Klobuchar.

Of course to some of the nutty commenters on the site, Klobuchar is "far-left", which is not true. Amy is a centrist by DFL standards.

3. Trying to scare us into supporting Amykins? n/t

4. An Amy-Michelle matchup would be like the

John Kitzhaber-Bill Sizemore match-up for Oregon governor in 1998. Sizemore had an absolutely devoted following among the knuckle-dragging crowd, but everyone who wasn't either stupid or brainwashed by fundamentalist churches and/or talk radio knew thought he was a disgusting combination of "a tax cut is the cure for whatever ails you" and "you're a crybaby if you worry about who's going to get hurt."

Kitzhaber won 3 to 1.

5. I don't know,

It gets scarier when you think how close Emmer came.

Damn I do so NOT want to vote for Klobuchar - even if I'm just voting against her opponent.
