Bottom line on the general election--Seifert would win, Emmer would lose! Seifert can and will win and be a good, solid Governor. If the GOP endorses Emmer, a "Mike Hatch-like" hothead, they will lose. That's the bottom line!

Ben ~ Since your negative allegation is too vague and non-verifiable, I chose not to accept your criticism as valid. Besides Seifert's poll numbers in rural Minnesota show high support so it doesn't give your statment any credibility. Also, keep in mind, none of us have the ability to please all the people all of the time, especially when tough decisions have to be made on behalf of the people. Nice chatting with you Ben.

May well be true Sue, but Minnesota will not survive a Marty Seifert as Governor. Talk to people who have not agreed with him (outside of St. Paul) and they will tell you just how he well he works with people.

Minnesota can't afford a DFL Governor, as they currently control the House and Senate. The DFL Majority will continue to take our hard-earned money and spend it on their pet projects. Our tax dollars are meant to pay for municipal necessities. Everyone knows there is government waste; some of my friends that work in government agencies acknowledge that fact. Let's look for solutions to make government more efficient like the private sector and families have been forced to do.

Marty is a great guy! May be the last chance ever to elect a rural legislator to the top job in this state.

If you liked Pawlenty as Gov. & thought he was great & kind hearted; you will love Marty Seifert. He's Pawlenty without the fake smile & fake "nice guy", gee whiz persona. If Seifert is the GOP choice for Gov.; please vote DFL, Idependent's can't win & only drag others down.
