What If They Had An Election, And No One Cared What The Candidates Were Focused On?

Can someone running for the US Senate or their attack dogs please tell me why I should vote for you or your guy?
Minnesota Republicans are scolding DFL Senate candidate Al Franken for a campaign fundraiser hosted Monday by Playboy CEO Christie Hef- ner at her Chicago-area home — and taking him to task for a sexually explicit satire he wrote for that magazine eight years ago.
Meanwhile, DFLers are calling on Republican incumbent Norm Coleman to divest his reelection campaign of nearly $10,000 received from the political-action committee and employees of a lobbying firm that represented Myanmar’s military regime.
With endorsing conventions for the U.S. Senate race rapidly approaching, the leading candidates are under attack by political opponents for taking contributions from controversial donors.
In theory, if voters really care about this who gave to who - gotcha crap, someone could walk up and run as a third party candidate with the platform of I won’t take donations from anyone, and they would win.
Why should Minnesotans vote FOR you?
