You know it’s bad to be Steve Sarvi when the Congressional Quarterly “upgrades” your campaign to “devoid of hope”, from “pray for a relatively painless death”.

After that, how could it get worse?

Oh, it could:

The Independence Party of Minnesota has endorsed Steve Sarvi for Congress from the south metro Second Congressional District, according to Sarvi and the IP.

Sarvi, former mayor of Watertown, is already the DFL endorsee. He is running against John Kline, the Republican incumbent who is seeking a fourth term.

The “Independence” party endorsement – a nod from Minnesota’s DFL-Lite concoction that has earned a dozen years of “major party” status on the electoral detritus of having ridden a “wrestler’s” coattails to Saint Paul, and is clinging to relevance by an ever-decaying thread – is sort of like winning Ms. Congeniality.

At a boxing tournament.
