Mike McFadden running against Al Franken.


WASHINGTON — The Minnesota DFL likes to poke GOP U.S. Senate candidate Mike McFadden for launching his campaign against Sen. Al Franken the same day one of the biggest political stories of the year broke: May 29, when Rep. Michele Bachmann announced her retirement, burying most everything else that happened that week.

McFadden, a 48-year-old businessman, has been doing behind-the-scenes stuff since then, primarily raising money ($700,000 in June) and building his campaign team. The political rookie is taking his time building a formal campaign platform, as well: He wants education to be at its core, and he said he's working with a team of experts on health care policy.

In his first formal interview since launching his campaign, McFadden told MinnPost where he stands on a handful of matters the Senate’s considered this year, what type of campaign he wants to run, and which senators he’d try to model himself after if he's elected to the Senate next November.

1. When the GOP gets hold of anything it always ends up in the crapper.

2. "he's working with a TEAM OF EXPERTS on health care policy" - Hallelujah!

No doubt they'll come up with an "expertly" crafted "repeal and replace" plan with specifics to be expertly revealed after the election by the team of experts.

4. I just saw the and I think I might be ill

It says even less than the average political ad does but I suppose he's suppose to be trying to convince people that he's just a regular guy with a sense of humor. Though I've never quite understood why a man being hit the balls is supposed to be funny.

Immediately before his ad one was also run reminding people that the DFL controls state government and whining about the new senate office building. The ad makes it sound like taxes were raised just to pay for that building and asks why potholes aren't being fixed. No mention of the budget shortfall the Republicans left is made.

5. Being endorsed by children and getting punched in the nuts

Yeah. There's a winner if I ever saw one.
