1. Oof. No thanks.

2. Indeed

What makes her qualified to be governor? I can see Dayton's and MAK's choices steppping up but see nothing in Robinson's background.

3. Entenza's even less qualified. At least Robinson isn't a known liar.

It's not likely that Robyn Robinson put that story out there herself if it wasn't true. But Entenza is still saying she's only one of several under consideration and no decision has been made yet. They can't both be telling the truth. And everyone knows Matt and The Truth are perfect strangers. This whole fiasco should drive a stake in Entenza's campaign. The first casualty appears to be Entenza's campaign spokesperson Bridget Cusick, who is history.

Buh-bye, Matt.

4. Word from some of my friends in the Cities is that she is "all show". So after I spoke to her

years ago, I got the impression after watching her rise at Fox that she was a Republican in reality.

5. No new news means...Matt's holding out for Don Shelby?

Or return of Paul Magers?

6. Entenza wants minority vote

Entenza does not give a hoot about Robinson. He just wants to pull the minority vote away from Dayton. Entenza's Robinson move is something like Bush proving he is not bigoted by having Clarence Thomas to dinner.

Entenza just reveals his arrogance with this move. Apparently he thinks people of color are so stupid they will fall for this ploy. Everyone with any brains can figure out Entenza will continue the status quo -- depriving many of health care so the health insurance companies can make big profits by charging high premiums to those afraid to do without insurance.

Entenza is such a sleazy guy.

8. Entenza is using Robinson as a stepping stone to higher power

That's what Entenza has always done--climbed to the top on the backs of others, stabbing them on the way up.

7. MinnPost confirms it...

Saw it on MinnPost's FB feed, but here's Entenza's word:

9. I used to respect Robinson -- now I see she must be stupid

I've lost all respect for Robyne Robinson as a result of this. She must have a low IQ and no heart to boot. Sad to see she's a shill.

10. I want to know how long this has been in the works.

She said she was leaving fox news to concentrate on her jewelry business. Was that a cover story i.e a lie.

11. Robyne is interested in Robyne.

[SomeGuyInEagan]

12. That's redundant ... afterall, she work(ed) in television news.

Just sayin'.

[glinda]

13. Shelby is nice. I have met some caring talking heads. Just saying she is interested in herself

possibly more than the people of this State.

14. Shelby is old enough that he started out as a journalist

and he has tried to retain some of that.

15. Star Tribune editorial says Robinson adds "entertainment value"

The Strib editorial took Entenza to task for selecting Robinson who has had no government experience worthy of note. The editor makes Entenza look like a real light weight. One has to feel sorry for Robinson for getting hooked up with a guy like that. Sad, sad, sad.
