So to no surprise, except maybe to Becky Lourey and Steve Kelley, Mike Hatch prevailed last night for the Gubernatorial endorsement.
Mike Hatch is a power hungry, angry man who has been running for governor as long as John Kerry has been running for president.
Hatch claims to be the candidate who will talk about the meat and potato issues of the day. Please Mike, will you? When those issues such as health care, education reform, growing the economy, job creation, low taxes, less government spending, and immigration are talked about, we win every time. Governor Pawlenty has a record second to none on every single one of those issues and this state leads the nation for the better in those categories!!!
Here is the statement from the MNGOP last night:
Republican Party Of Minnesota Statement On The Endorsement Of Mike Hatch For Governor
Rochester- Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Ron Carey today released the following statement regarding today's DFL endorsement of Mike Hatch.
"Mike Hatch has been running for governor for nearly 20 years and broke his word this year by running for governor a third time. During that 20 years, his fellow DFLers have called him a 'chameleon,' an 'opportunist,' and 'a man willing to sell his soul just to get elected.' No matter how extreme the makeover Hatch attempts, Minnesotans aren't going to trust someone with that kind of opportunistic and inconsistent record."
Bring on the fight Mike, we will make your angry self implode on the campaign trail!!
