Minnesota Dems: We'll Give You Cash For Photo Of Coleman With Bush
The strategy being employed by many Republicans in tough races this year -- that is, to disassociate oneself from President Bush -- is naturally a lot tougher for Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman, whose home city of St. Paul is hosting the Republican convention. And the state Dems there are setting out to make it even more difficult.
The DFL (as the Dems are called in Minnesota) has made a novel offer: A cash reward of over $500 to anybody who can snap a photo of Coleman standing next to Bush on Monday night of the convention.
In an e-mail to Election Central, DFL spokesman Eric Fought acknowledged that this could be a tall order: "It's a safe bet that when George Bush is anywhere near the Xcel Center, Norm Coleman will be far, far away."

I love that he said outright, "If the convention wasn't in St. Paul, I wouldn't be at the convention."
Incorrect use of the subjunctive, too.

Obviously you're a grammar Socialist. If you had your way we would be taxing all those that could differentiate between an adverb and an adjective.

I'd rather they were offering the cash for a pic of Slimy Norman with one of his many "companions", few if any of which, I'll wager, are named Laurie.
I keep hearing more and more about the guy - why was Edwards - a private citizen at this time - getting the interest when Quimby's far more of a philanderer. Come on people, even a cell phone camera shot or two - someone must have them!

You mean Republicans running in Blue states...people still flock to events for both Bush and Chenney here in GA.

"people still flock* to events for both Bush and Chenney [sp] here in GA"
* my highlight
There are sayings that describe the problem in GA. Birds of a feather... or even once a moron ... are good examples.

Why bother? They could just run this as an ad:

Speaking of the MN race; it's nice to see that UofM poll showing Franken with a slight edge over Coleman. I think that's the first one I've see where Franken was ahead of Coleman (if only by 1%).
