(147,392 posts)8. Olson has a tea party primary opponent
A tea party lady named Carleson is running against Olson in the GOP primary. She has a number of signs up and have won a couple of straw polls (done by tea party types). KP's best hope is for Carleson to win the GOP primary
KP's other hope is to increase turnout out among Hispanic and Asian voters. These groups have under voted in past elections and this race could be close if these groups would turn out.
