OK, that was then; this is now – so, let’s look at Emmer’s 1st ad:

The theme GOPers are tryin’ to push in both? “aw, shucks – MakeoverMark/TBaggerTom is really a nice guy.”

And GOPers really have to push that message; it’s their only hope. Because when it comes to policy, GOPers (as pointed out by Joe Bodell) want to give you four more years just like the last eight – only worse.

“McIntosh said the Frankens never received the nearly one dozen notices that New York officials had sent them since April 2005.

‘Had they gotten the notices, you know they would have paid them,’ McIntosh said. ‘The Republicans were going to jump on this eventually, so it wouldn’t have been politically expedient [for the Frankens] to wait for that to happen.’

Franken, Nelson-Pallmeyer and Ciresi are vying for the DFL Party endorsement to challenge Republican Sen. Norm Coleman. The insurance dispute was first reported Tuesday on the Minnesota Democrats Exposed website, run by Republican blogger Michael Brodkorb.” Source: Star Tribune, March 6, 2008

Does Franken’s SPOKEwoman, as you put it, work in a bicycle shop?

***“Other campaigns have been cited and fined for failing to provide workers’ comp coverage, including that of Third District Rep. Jim Ramstad, Second District Rep. John Kline, and Sixth District Rep. Mark Kennedy, all Republicans, and gubernatorial candidates Roger Moe, a DFLer, and Tim Penny of the Independence Party.“***

Say, Michael?

Didn’t you work for Little Markie?

Were YOU covered??!?

TPT: I was a part-time consultant during Kennedy’s campaign for the U.S. Senate. I believe the article is referring to Kennedy’s campaigns for the House.

Say, Michael?

Which campaigns were they referring to, for Kline?

How ’bout Rammers?

Probably federal, doncha think?

Michael, just outa curiosity:

Do you remember any campaigns that Kline and Ramstad ran, that weren’t for federal office?

Eighteen threads on the worker’s comp deal, and the only thing we now know is that Kennedy, Kline, Rammer, and Franken all got something in common?

Michael – you should really be proud….

TPT: Ramstad was a state senator before he ran for congress.

So, Michael – just when DID Ramstad get in trouble with “worker’s comp” – state office, or federal?

Michael B. Brodkorb Says:

TPT: As I wrote before, I have no idea. If you have questions, please contact the reporter.

Well, Michael – at least you’re admitting, you’re no definitive source….
