A sharp-eyed political activist brought http://bruceforsenate.com/, the Candidate Website URL on Bruce Anderson's filing information online at the Secretary of State's website to Bluestem's attention.
The link leads to the campaign website for Bruce Poliquin, "A Fiscally Conservative, Courageous Voice For Maine."
The mis-direction doesn't seem to be a typo on the part of the Secretary of State's office, since the same URL is used at the campaign committee's registration at the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board.
The committee was registered with the Board on February 28, 2012.
Now serving in the Minnesota House, Bruce Anderson is seeking election in the redistricted Senate seat more-or-less left open by the retirement of former Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch, who stepped down from her leadership position after being confronted about her affair with senior Majority Caucus staff member Michael Brodkorb.
Snuggled in conservative Wright County, Minnesota, the seat is reliably Republican. Bluestem doubts that Anderson will have to order new campaign literature with the correct URL, although we do advise that the committee alert the Board and the SOS office about the problem.

No biggie. Cut and paste conservatism is the new normal.
