Where is Emmer going now? Maybe Howard Lake's Legion on Wednesday night

In A bruising campaign, an uncertain future for Emmer, Star Tribune reporter Pat Doyle wrote:

Surrounded by family and friends, Emmer told reporters "I'm not going to predict where I'm going to go from here ... we'll see what the rest of life has to offer."

To run for governor, Emmer gave up the chance to keep his seat in the House of Representatives and virtually shut down a declining law practice in Delano.

It looks like one of the first stops will be at the Howard Lake American Legion, along with a gaggle of Minnesota House Republicans, old and new. The Herald-Journal reports in State Legislators make a local stop Wednesday:

Several local state legislators will speaker at the Howard Lake Legion Wednesday, Dec. 15 at 7 p.m. In addition to speaking on the main issues facing this upcoming legislative session, they will be available for questions from the audience.

Potential attendees include: Scott Newman, Ron Shimanski, Glenn Gruenhagen, Dean Urdahl, Joe McDonald, Tom Emmer, and Amy Koch.

Will Emmer be there? If so, will the topic mentioned in Doyle's article in the Strib be on the agenda? Emmer said:

"I will devote my time to bring public awareness to these issues and the need for election reform, including -- but not necessarily limited to -- requiring a photo ID," he said.

Photo ID was Republican-endorsed Secretary of State candidate Dan Severson's signature issue--and voters rejected his bid in favor of incumbent Mark Ritchie by a far greater margin than they did Emmer. Is there really a great public outcry for voter suppression in Minnesota? Is this a front burner issue?

Perhaps Emmer is simply joining the effort described in the Journal of American Rocket Science article A Unified Minnesota State Legislature Proposes to Reinflate Metrodome With Hot Air.

He must be hoping to get on Crazy Kiffy's good side so that the same groups flinging cash at her will fling cash at him so he doesn't have to get honest work.

"get honest work"?

Come on -- he was a Republican lawyer.
