The election for MN Attorney General is very close.

[Eric J in MN]

There have been four public polls.

Keith Ellison (D-MN) by 5, 0, -7, 4. Average those numbers, and it's Ellison leading by only half-a-point.

The election could go either way. Please ask anyone you know who can vote in MN to vote for Ellison for the abortion rights, gay rights, and the environment.

If they're concerned about Karen Monahan's accusation that Ellison tried to pull her out of bed in 2016, then you can direct them to this great essay by Betsy Hodges, former Minneapolis Mayor.

1. Which is why I wondered about the "optics"

I kinda watched WCCO this morning, mainly waiting for the weather report.

And here was a photo of Ellison flanked by Maye Quade on one side, and Omar on the other.

All metro people with their own qualities - that I will not detail here - that someone from outstate can wonder whether there is anything common with them.

Hadn't we learned the lesson from the Murphy/Maye Quade all Metro team?

2. Keith Ellison recently campaigned with Walter Mondale

Mondale is familiar to the whole state.

4. Thanks, I hadn't seen that.

For others, Doug Wardlow (R) is running for MN Attorney General.

He had a secret right-wing blog when he was a law clerk. He used it to oppose Roe v. Wade (abortion rights) and Griswold v. CT (contraception rights.)
