From the Frat Boys, here.
Among the potential Republican candidates being talked about to run for the 6th District seat: state Reps. Phil Krinkie of Shoreview and Jim Knoblach of St. Cloud, state Sens. Dave Kleis of St. Cloud, Michelle Fischbach of Paynesville, Michele Bachmann of Stillwater, Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer and former U.S. Sen. Rod Grams.
Yes, the same state Senator Michele Bachmann whom we had the pleasure of rubbing elbows with in August on The Patriot boat cruise. I think there was some talk radio host there as well but we were too busy chatting with the lovely Senator to pay much attention. It sounds like there is a pretty good chance that Senator Bachmann or Senator Eye Candy as JB likes to call her, may indeed make the leap from local to national politics:
"I've had a number of people call me and ask me to consider running and that is an option that I am considering," said Bachmann. But, like others, she adds she would only run if Kennedy decides to take on Dayton.
So we could have this scenario in 2006: Kennedy knocks Dayton out of the Senate and Bachmann wins the 6th District House seat. Let's just hope she'll remember the people who were with her from the start. Or at least with her from this past summer.

What was that boat cruise?
On the AM 1280 The Patriot boat cruise with Hugh Hewitt, Michael Medved, and Mike Gallagher. ...
It was a beautiful day for a cruise on the mighty Mississippi and the bar had plenty of Bombay Sapphire on hand. We had a great time conversing with many people including the lovely and engaging MN State Senator Michele Bachmann, Daniel Mathais (running for Congress in the 5th District), the affable Generalissimo Duane, James Lileks and a couple of his chums (I believe it was the Giant Uzbek and the Crazy Finn), and of course the three national radio hosts.
Well from "Senator Eye Candy" to "Hot Sexy Minx". Michele is just movin' on up. |
