Who Is The Best Republican Presidential Candidate for Northern Minnesota?

Good morning norpole. Been thinking of how to answer your question since you posted it- still don't have an answer. No answer of a specific name that is. I think it doesn't matter who is elected in any party, International Falls, Minnesota is to far off the beaten path for any one in national politics to directly have any concern about us. Our only hope for any representation of any kind are our own locally elected officials. I think the few thousand votes we have is not even enough for the state to throw us any bones for our use, unless of course our own officials get in bed with someone to scratch their back first. In looking over the list of possibilities, I am currently afraid to pick any current candidate to think they might help me in any way. Kinda down on the current list of candidates for sure. Normally, by this time, there is somebody out there who at least pretends they are on my side but I am not even seeing that yet. I sorta put things in a help the little guy who lives here mentality. The guy I know, just reading the local blogs, is concerned about heat, housing, income to pay his or her bills, their childrens welfare and the outdoors. Now I don't see any candidate, in any party, who gives a hoot about these concerns that my friends and neighbors have. Sorry, I know thats not the response you wanted but on 4 December 2007, thats the only answer I can give you. Wished there was something more positive to say. Still, if your not registered to vote I can ask you to please do so, its free and its easy and we still have 11 months to find someone who might help us out.

If we want yet another president who delivers a great soundbite, then Huckleberry is our man in the White House. His record speaks for itself; he was the governor of a southern state, just like George H. W. and Jimmy Carter. Both are in the running for the worst presidents in our lifetime -- and that's not a partisan statement, just the truth. He was able to shed 100 ugly pounds and he didn't have to do it the way Rudy Giuliani did. He should have changed his name when he changed his public persona; I just don't see us electing a president with that last name: Mike Huck would have a chance. But we've elected good soundbites before and we'll do it again; too bad old Fred isn't capable of ad-libbing.

Blackbay, correct. And Clinton was a fairly good president when compared to the two I name but was impeached and rightly so for his ability to lie without blushing. To say your views are in line with Romney is not much of a claim; 98% of all Americans can say the same as this is a man whose views change depending on which electorate he is appealing to. But there never has been a time when we just elected views except, of course, when President Al Gore won in 2000.

Took the test, think I need lithium. Results were Fred, Hunter,and Giuliani. Think I'll go make some more egg sinkers and jigs for next summer. I'm going to explode for sure. Do these symptoms mean anything terrible is going to happen? Sure has me wondering. Going to vote for Obama now for sure.

Blackbay,

You are right about "slick Willie", but you will never get Professor "J" to admit that his "hero" demoncrat is a southern "Huckster"!! LOL! But the Clinton's got beat by Huckabee, not once, but TWICE! I shouldn't pick on the poor Professor, since I think he leaned a little right, once or twice in his voting! I'd rather have a President "Huckabee" than a President "Billary"!!!!

I agree, 41 should have been a good bet for 4 more years, Clinton was not all that bad if you can look past the oval office chit chat, but 41 was smart enough not to go into Iraq and he lost because of it. Don't bad mouth him for not doing something stupid.

1st Quit sippin the kool-aid.

I suggest everyone register as Independents.

2nd write in Lou Dobbs.

If you stay with someone that's running... Biden is the man... just doesn't have the money or face time to win. He's a big supporter of the little guy.

I didn't realize the Falls was such a "red city." Oh well, to each their own I guess...just particpating in the process is the most important thing.

Carefully look at the their border and immigration views/plans. I believe, that's one of the most important issues facing our nation, especially border towns like the Falls.
