Tarryl Clark shows her true colors in the 8th district DFL race.

God, she is such a fucking packsacker.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/08/09/1118203/-MN-08-Clark-Desperately-Attacks-Nolan-on-Perpich-Jobs-Initiative

In a truly smarmy television ad worthy of Karl Rove, Clark shockingly claims no 'middle class jobs' were created by the Minnesota World Trade Center during Nolan's tenure as president, and accuses the former congressman, whom columnist and congressional critic Jack Anderson rated "one of the most respected members of Congress for effectiveness and integrity," of 'blatant misuse of public funds.'

Clark's far-flung allegations have stunned many observers, including former Minnesota AFL-CIO President Dave Roe. According to Roe, who was a close friend of the former governor and actively involved with the project, Nolan was instrumental in the launching of the Minnesota World Trade Center, and both Perpich and organized labor were impressed with Nolan's leadership...

(snip)

Perpich's good friend and fellow Ranger Rick Nolan also became a target for Republicans (and some Twin Cities liberals) who despised Perpich, disliked Rangers in general, and attacked any project led by a Ranger, particularly one that benefited northeastern Minnesota. Clark's misleading and false allegations are just more of this whiny drivel. But it should come as no surprise that she is taking up the mantle of the Republicans in criticizing Perpich's jobs initiative; while Nolan was working with Perpich and actually creating jobs here in Minnesota, Tarryl Clark was a practicing Republican living in Arizona who voted for union busting President Ronald Reagan in 1980, and again in 1984 over Minnesota labor's own Walter Mondale.

Isn't that special?

I hope she gets her ass handed to her.

1. Thank you. I think I just decided to vote for Nolan. Even though Clark in from my area.

[Jenoch]

2. Clark's area is the 6th district...

so how could you vote for Nolan?

[Brickbat]

3. Clark is running in the 8th. She got a condo in Duluth.

And you don't have to live where you run, for the House.

4. Don't have to live where you run for any national position

The Constitution merely requires that you inhabit the state, when elected. That could be as little as being in the state when the results are certified...

6. That doesn't mean she's

FROM Duluth. I was being a bit facetious. The 8th district is mistrustful of outsiders more so than any other congressional district in Minnesota. I used to live in Duluth but I was still an outsider.

7. Your info is worth having - so now I have two candidates who live in the cities area and the

Steelworkers backing Clark while most other unions back Nolan. The info that would be really helpful would be how they have voted in the past.

[Jenoch]

9. I'm not sure

Nolan's votes in the past are particularly relevant today.

5. I'm thinking she's made a big mistake dissing Perpich in that part of the state

- and I sure hope I'm right about that.

8. You were right

She lost!
