Yeah it scares me. The Marin factor scares the bejeezus outta me.
I know his brother from serving in Delta Company here in town. His brother is a good guy so if he is anything like him he would be a good person for that job. Unfortunately he has about the same chance as a snowball in hades of winning.

Freeborn County Republicans seem to have failed to recognize that this house district has shifted East, and no longer is just the domain of Freeborn County. I think Benda knows this, and maybe Dorman knew it, so why are Freeborn County Republicans failing to pick up on it?

QUOTE Aside from the fact that he is a Republican, what is alarming about that? Seems like a solid citizen with common sense.
Oh absolutely, I agree with you he's a solid citizen. And there's nothing "alarming" about it. It set off alarm bells, something it signified.
Now as to Mr. Rofshus, I like the guy, from the very few times we have met. I thought he was an outstanding candidate for County Board in 2004, and I am still stunned he lost to Behrends. And if Rofshus had won the seat, I think things would have been dramatically different, especially when it comes to local property taxes and county spending. The alarm bell, I suppose, is my worry he will pass on the county board seat in 2008, and run for state house.
Like I've said, I've talked with him few times in the past. Wish I had talked more, he seems like someone it would be interesting to talk with.

Ah, I understand your "alarm". Yes, he'd be a natural candidate for the Behrends seat. Sadly, I don't have any prognostication to offer there either.
It's unfortunate the district 3 (?) race didn't have a different outcome as well.
Any thoughts on who might run there? Not to send this thread off on a tangent.

No, but I have heard from several sources that the incumbent, Mr. Nelson, is probably not going to run. Nothing official, but that could make it a wide open race, because otherwise, I would think Mr. Nelson would be odds on favorite to win.

So now that the Albert Lea 3rd Ward council seat is open, does that mean anything to the house seat race?
