There's no rest for bloggers in the Fighting First. Over at MyDD, Chris Bowers considers today's news from the Dee-Trip (DCCC). While the contest in MN-01 has yet to be put on "Red to Blue" status, the Walz race has moved up another important notch:
The DCCC also released their list of seats that apparently they are looking for in a wave election, their "emerging races.":
Charlie Brown (CA-04), Jack Davis (NY-26), Judy Feder (VA-10), Peter Goldmark (WA-05), Larry Kissell (NC-08), Tim Mahoney (FL-16), Eric Massa (NY-29), Jerry McNerney (CA-11), Dave Mejias (NY-03), Maxine Moul (NE-01), Dan Seals (IL-10), Bob Shamansky (OH-12), Ellen Simon (AZ-01), Tim Walz (MN-01), Victoria Wulsin (OH-02)
Minnesota Central discusses Tim Walz's new television ad:
Walz’s ad is very good. It speaks of general issues, gives a brief candidate profile and includes a zinger on Gil Gutknecht’s ever-increasing salary. Hey, I like it. I wrote challenging Gutknecht to justify his pay increase based on performance before Walz issued his press release. Walz’s ad combines positive and negative and leaves the voter with a better understanding of the candidates without implying questionable, unverifiable assertions.
We've contacted the Walz campaign to see if the ad will be made available via You Tube.
