I guess he called one to ask folks to look past his endorsement of Bush :eyes: :puke:

Sorry man, you made your bed.

7. LOL. That about sums it up.
I live in St. Paul and if it's any consolation, I'll think of you when I cast my vote. We'll get rid of the rat bastard this time around. Hell, I can't believe he ever got in in the first place. He had Norm Coleperson's endorsement when he ran last time and that was all I needed to know. St Paulites always vote correctly in other elections but for some damn reason we can't seem to get ourselves a decent Mayor. That's about to change. You might as well start cleaning out your office now RK because we don't want you occupying that space anymore. Need a job? I hear FEMA has an opening. Bwahahaha.

4. Pathetic ramblings of a loser to be
http://www.startribune.com/stories/587/5642774.html

....

"Skeptical reporters noted the presence of freelance videographers and questioned whether Kelly was using the event to shoot a commercial. Kelly denied it.

"We're not filming a TV commercial," he said.

Kelly described himself as an "unwavering Democrat," and said he made his decision to back Bush "on principle ... and as the last few months bore out, I certainly didn't do it for political reasons."


Uh, I think I can give about 850,000 reasons why he did it (see campaign $)

6. I just laughed when I heard it
I've talked with any number of St Paul voters who, had they known how well Coleman was going to do, wish theyed voted green and shoved him out with the Primaries LOL.

'Uh, I think I can give about 850,000 reasons why he did it (see campaign $)" Disgusting!

8. I would have done that if I had known
but I went with the "safe" vote and voted for Coleman. Uh, CHRIS Coleman. Not the smarmy guy that shares the same last name. Just want to make that clear.

But I have to admit I'm kind of glad that RK is on the ballot because it's rather entertaining seeing him squirm and backpedal. I thought he might even try to save face and drop out of the race in order to "spend more time with his family" but it looks like he wants to stay in and humiliate himself even further. Great! Keep groveling RK. I could use the laugh.

10. Yes, and he's spending it like a progressive DFLer *sarcasm*
http://www.startribune.com/stories/587/5615621.html

"He already has paid nearly $40,000 to a Republican media consulting firm from Dallas with ties to Karl Rove, President Bush's key campaign strategist. Scott Howell & Co. produced commercials for Bush, U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman and other well-known Republicans.

Howell used to serve as Rove's political director.

That is only one sign that Republicans are aligning themselves with Kelly, a lifelong DFLer who broke from his party to endorse Bush in 2004. A political action committee called Campaign for St. Paul's Future was launched last month by Joe Weber, a well-known Republican activist in Minnesota and brother of former Republican U.S. Rep. Vin Weber."
