Sorry I've missed a few days. I had a big test, and you know, sometimes that comes first ;) Lots of stuff to catch up with.


Senate:

-Al Franken raised 4.4 million dollars in Q3. Coleman? 1.5 million. Wow, fantastic news.

-Franken has two new ads

MN-06:

-El Tinklenberg has been added to the DCCC's Red to Blue program for competitive Democratic candidates, very good news.

-Michelle Bachmann ducked another debate
