According to Vin Weber joins Demmer campaign, a Hot Dish Politics' post, Randy Demmer has made a bold more:
Demmer’s campaign announced today that former Minnesota Rep. Vin Weber has signed on as campaign chairman. Weber served in Congress for Minnesota’s sixth and second districts from 1981-1993 and was an adviser to Mitt Romney’s 2008 presidential campaign.
Currently, Weber is co-chairman for Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s Freedom First political action committee and works for D.C. lobbyist group Clark & Weinstock.
“Nobody understands southern Minnesota better than Vin Weber,” Demmer said in a statement announcing Weber as chairman.
We beg to differ, being of the opinion that thousands of people who have lived there in the current century may have acquired a some understanding along the way--perhaps even more than a lobbyist in the District of Columbia.
As for Demmer, this move will certain help with FEC compliance. As I reported early Wednesday, Randy Demmer had spent nearly a grand of contributor cash on FEC compliance, but his report was riddled with incomplete but mandated information. I was able to locate most of the information for Demmer, but he has yet to find it in himself to make a Paypal donation for all that work! Maybe some of Weber's clients could fork over the money
One of those "Best Effort" blank spots in the report was for:
| Vin Weber 7701 Ridgecrest Dr Alexandria, Virginia 22308 |
Best Efforts | 06/30/2010 | 2000.00 |

I hope that, between my due diligence and Demmer's own press release, the campaign can finally figure out the paperwork.
Amazing how Vin Weber, who is revered among GOP types for his super-competence, could forget a little thing like that.
