Open Letter To Betty McCollum
By Mitch Berg
To: Rep. Betty McCollum
From: Mitc Berg, peasant in your realm
Re: Campaign
Rep. McCollum,
You’ve been in office for ten years, winning most years by huge margins. Of course, this past few cycles have been great years for Democrats everywhere – so here in the Fourth District, it’s been just ludicrous; you’ve won by the same margin Brezhnev got in the 1970 Soviet elections.
And you’ve developed a bit of a reputation for dodging debates. The rumor has it that it’s because you’re just not able of holding your own against anyone past about sixth grade. But in a normal year, that’s OK – this is the Fourth District. In a normal year, the Fourth District DFL could endorse Ed Gein, Crispin Glover or a bag of Snausages and get 55% of the vote.
But this isn’t a normal year. The GOP has a tail wind this year; you might not be a walkon this year. Teresa Collette won endorsement with a pretty good head of steam.
So here’s the question; are you going to scamper like a scared kitten away from a debate and hide behind your friends in the media again?
That is all.

“ramalam”?
I thought it was “bamalam”

Since Paulsen’s DFL opponent has like 25K COH (cash on hand) I think I will help out Collette as much as possible.

Interesting note, according to Rothenburg both CD 3 and 6 have been dropped from the list of competitive races! w00t

It looks like I will be helping Collette out mostly, Paulsen’s “opponent” gots a grand total of 25K COH (cash on hand)

It looks like Paulsen’s “opponent” only has 25K COH according to MNDemocratsExposed. I will be helping her out as much as I possibly can

If they debate, I wonder if Betty is going to refer to her opponent as a “teabagger”. Wouldn’t that cause some awkward silience.

I think it was, though it may be appropriate to modify it for Representative McCollum in homage to “ramalama dingdong”. *shrug*

I’m strong! Do you want to arm wrestle? I can KICK!

Chuck, I did see her at the rally.

I’m confused; you’ll be helping the DFLer?

It wasn’t Chrome – it was the post. Not sure why, but two of yours wound up in the Spam queue (not even the modqueue). Not sure why. But I caught ’em and approved ’em – they should be showing now.
April 19th, 2010 at 11:28 am
Ah, I got it when I found your other post in the spamqueue. Yeah, Paulsen and Kline are looking safe as can be; Bachmann too, I suspect, although they’ll put on a big show.
There’ll be a post to follow, here.

If the old saying went along the lines that the only way an established politician could lose was to be caught in the sack with a live boy or dead girl, what could possibly get brain-dead Betty out?
April 19th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
In today’s DFL, if she got caught in the sack with a live girl, her alternative lifestyle would be applauded.
April 19th, 2010 at 4:38 pm
If a Democrat gets caught in the sack with a dead person, male or female, it’s called ‘voter outreach’.

Or, “Our continuing series on voter registration.”
