Don't know about Bonoff who is challenging Paulsen for the 3rd [View all]

First, seems that Republican representative of the 3rd are there for life.

Second, Paulsen has accomplished some things. I did not like the lifting of taxes on medical devices, but this is what many of his constituents wanted and Klobuchar joined him.

Third, all Bonoff is doing, including the nice story last week in the WSJ, is tying Paulsen to Trump, even using some of the images from Hillary's ads. She really need to say what she is for, not what she is against.

Yes, attack ads work. This is what raised Hillary visibility, but at least she does say what she is for. And, Hillary is running for a vacancy, she is not trying to win against a well established incumbent.

I don't know. I see all the new yard signs for the Republicans - never mentioning the name, of course - and I don't hold much hope.
