Some weeks ago, we reported that the web page for the First Congressional District Republicans had not been updated since Spring 2004.
Fortunately, our GOP brethren have since made necessary repairs, although they do seem a bit confused, since the page randomly lists a GOP U.S. Representative from Minnesota: either Jim Ramstad, Michele Bachmann, or John Kline, depending upon the luck of the draw. None of the three represent MN-01, and none of the other GOP congressional district pages uses this confusing design.
Who is congressman in MN-01? Perhaps the state GOP can be forgiven for not knowing if they've visited the Omsted County Republican offices recently.
A friend sent us photos from Rochester this morning, documenting a bit of a property management issue in Rochester: the exterior of 1530 Greenview Dr. SW still sports lettering that indicates the presence of Congressman Gil Gutknecht's official office, which was in Suite 108. Now, this outdated signage is clearly a responsibility of the building's property manager, rather than the former Congressman.
However, given that the Olmsted County Republicans are located in Suite 114 at 1530 Greenwood, we think they might take a bit of leadership in asking the building's management to remove the signage.
Perhaps after they update their web site, which still asks people to vote on November 7, 2006. Some fascinating audio files there of local radio ads as well. Oh, and there's this fascinating page for Olmsted County from 2004 on the State Republican web site. The entry for January 19 is our fav:
Olmsted County Republicans get ready for an exciting election year! Plan to get involved and help re-elect President George Bush, First District Congressman Gil Gutknecht and MN State Representatives Bill Kuisle, Fran Bradley, Randy Demmer and Carla Nelson. Lets keep them in office!
Heckova job.
Perhaps Duane Quam, co-chair of the Olmsted GOP needs to be contacted about the Gutknecht sign still on the building. That would be a start. Maybe the Olmsted Co GOP are still in shock that Gil lost to Tim Walz, who is doing a fantastic job already!!!
