Senator Dave Thompson has jumped about four months ahead of the usual pace and picked Senator Michelle Benson as his running mate.
The pick makes a lot of sense; Benson has been out front opposing Minnesota’s gathering healthcare debacle since before it was cool.
The only downside? If Thompson wins, we’ll lose Benson in the Senate.
Anyone have thoughts on who the medicated one will choose for a running mate? I shudder to think it could be Marc Ritchie.
Does it matter? He could choose Tickle Me Elmo (they have the same eyes) and the local media will extoll his wisdom and gravitas.
