Democrats appear to believe that negative campaigning works in Minnesota. Tell a lie or a half truth often enough and people will believe it. On the national level it is Bain Capital and job losses. Most of the companies that Bain bought were going broke, and left to their own recourses all the jobs would have all been lost. Bain was able to save some but sold out others. In all, Bain created good, long-lasting jobs that would have been lost.

On the local level, blaming school fund shift on Rep. Rich Murray when it was in the Democratic governor’s budget plan and the governor refused to pay it back. If you can’t back your governor, then just say so. Rich Murray has done well for his district and I have yet to hear what positive things his opponent has planned, but I am sure they involve more taxes and government red tape.
