		<description>30% ??  Where did you find that number?  She has a 65% lifetime rating with the MN Taxpayers League and a 81% rating with the MN Family Council.  If the seat goes over to the DFL I wonder if her replacement will do better.  Not likely!  Oh, and if the majority hangs in the balance .......

It seems to me that Republicans need every seat we can get.  Shame we are so eager to give them up.  Like I said; I hope it doesn't happen!</description>

		<description>Clef,
And if a DFL wins the difference will be.... She was with us less than 30% of the time, and even then the vote didn't matter.
The only difference with a DFL candidate is that the headlines won't read - Passed with bipartisan support.
Also, if the GOP doesn't think it can win with candidates who support its core beliefs, then it need to stop being a party.</description>

		<description>Before anyone starts to saver the "victory" of pressuring Rep. Tinglestad out of office, remember that what was done was to hand the seat over to the Dems on a silver platter.  I hope I'm wrong, and I hope those responsible will work VERY hard to hold that seat!  Blame's on them if they don't.</description>
