Paraphrasing from “Chad the Elder” on the “Northern Alliance Radio Network“, broadcast May 31st on 1280 Khz:
Barb Davis White doesn’t have much of a chance against Keith Ellison
What is a Republican doing on the Keith Ellison campaign staff?
And who the hell is “Chad the Elder”?

Chad the Elder is a realist who has lived in the Fifth District long enough to understand the facts on the ground. It’s silly and counter-productive to pretend otherwise. It’s also not very conservative to persist in believing in a particular outcome when all available evidence suggests an opposite result.
But if you want, I can play make-believe too.
“John McCain is going to win in a historic landslide.”
“The Republicans are going to retake control of the House and the Senate.”
“In Minnesota the GOP is going to retake the House.”
“The Vikings are going to win the Super Bowl.”
Feel better now?
You have the mic on a major local radio station. Instead of sounding defeatist, you should have examined the positions and tactics of your party’s candidate and then made a comparison with Keith Ellison. That would have been a more constructive use of airtime.
Chad the Elder, you’re spot on. It’s not defeatist but realistic for a conservative to see that BDW has raised almost nothing and is already in debt and has no aggressive campaign going on. You don’t beat an incumbent that way. It’s called putting up a token candidate.
Ellison is going to win by 2-1. The other MN Dem members of Congress also have token to no opposition except Walz. The 3rd, 1st and 6th are probably the GOP priorities in that order.
