@ABetterMN: Failed Speaker Kurt Zellers led a historic era of partisan politics. WATCH: http:\/\/bit.ly\/16ukH99 #wrong4mn #mn2014 #mnleg #stribpol<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
(I wonder how “forcing daycare providers and personal care attendants into a union against their will so the DFL can get another $2M a year in “donations” will be spun as “non-partisan” by ABM and the media that parrots their chanting points without question?)<\/p>\n
ABM, of course, is run by “Executive Director” Carrie Lucking.\u00a0 She’s a former junior high social studies teacher who now runs Messinger’s little message shop; she ran the epic, toxic sleaze campaign that barely squeedged Mark Dayton over the top against Tom Emmer’s flawed campaign in 2010, and packed the polls with the uninformed in 2012.\u00a0<\/p>\n
@davethul: The irony of @ABetterMN’s ‘failed candidate’ mantra? Their Exec @CarrieLucking left teaching to become a Failed Campaign Manager. #stribpol<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
She was a “failed” campaign manager, working for a woman who had a failed marriage to a failed Senator.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh, the video about Zellers that Lucking links to?<\/p>\n
You be the judge.\u00a0 But I’d call it an epic failure.<\/p>\n
Carrie Lucking:\u00a0\u00a0 Remember – the greatest president of either of our lifetimes, Ronald Reagan, was a “failure” running for president.\u00a0 Once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Kurt Zellers announced his candidacy for Governor yesterday, entering an increasingly crowded field. And seconds after his announcement, the “Alliance For A Better Minnesota” – Alida Messinger’s union-and-plutocrat-funded attack-PR firm, henceforth “ABM” \u00a0– was out with the party line\u00a0on Twitter: @ABetterMN: Failed Speaker Kurt Zellers led a historic era of partisan politics.
