The Olmsted County Convention held today was one of the most exciting and dynamic ever. Some highlights ...
Fran Bradley did a superb job as Convention Chair. We moved along at a fast clip. Business was well conducted.
Tom Ostrom brought the house down with his John Edwards impression and a biting exposé of the ridiculous legislation the DFL is ramming down our throats this session. Ostrom's "glass warfare" line, a reference to Andy Welti's ban on glass containers, was particularly memorable.
Senator Norm Coleman delivers a stump speech like no one else in Minnesota.
Carla Nelson announced she will not be seeking the party's nomination for District 30A. What a pity! Democrat Rep. Tina Liebling is an embarrassment to the district and to the town.
More importantly, District 29A Rep. Randy Demmer (R-Hayfield) announced he will seek the party's nomination for the First District Congressional seat now occupied by Democrat Tim Walz. Demmer will compete for the nomination with former State Senate Minority Leader Dick Day (R-Owatonna) .
It should be an exciting race. Walz is doing his best to keep in front of the cameras whenever he can. The Rochester Post-Bulletin is happy to comply. Congressman Walz has been on both sides of the track when it comes to the DM&E. He rejoices when the federal loan is rejected but expresses hope the railroad can get the money elsewhere. Speaking out of both sides of his mouth like a good little democrat.
Yours truly was elected PR co-chair. It's going to be fun.
