Another Minnesota Republican Tosses His Hat in the Ring

Tuesday, December 01, 2009

Last month, I mentioned that in Minnesota, former gubernatorial candidate Allen Quist was running for the House of Representatives. One reader up there indicated Quist's style was not his cup of tea, and far from a shoo-in in a district Obama carried by four percent:

This is a man who held an open casket funeral for a miscarriage. He's a Swedish Republican Alan Greyson and a parody of conservatism whose political high point was wrestling away the GOP endorsement for governor from RINO Arne Carlson in 1994.

I don't have another dog in this fight - in fact I don't think there is another Republican actually running for the seat right now - but Allen Quist is the antithesis of what conservatives should want and need to beat Rep. Tim Walz here in MN.

Now there is another option for Republicans: "Rep. Randy Demmer, R-Hayfield, announced Tuesday that he's running for Congress in the First District, a seat held by Democrat Tim Walz."
