It was no mere coincidence that this wretched piece of campaign literature appeared in Pine County, home of the Grand Casino Hinckley. There is something terribly wrong when a political party promotes racism in a campaign. Although Loren Jennings did not use attack or negative campaign tactics, in a general sense, both the Republican and the DFL parties are using more and more attack ad campaigns in their efforts to savage an opponent and persuade voters to choose their respective candidate. The positive messages are getting lost. People are tired and they are sick of hearing why they should vote against someone.
People are hungry for candidates who offer a message of why the candidate deserves to be elected.
My hope for Minnesota voters is that the Republican and DFL Parties will wake up. My expectation is that they will not. I also hope that the Republican House Caucus will be taken to task for a wretched and wicked piece of campaign literature.
