If GOP candidate Tom Emmer loses the race for governor in Minnesota, it will be for one key reason: His utter — and utterly baffling — refusal to specify where he’d make his spending cuts in order to balance the state budget. …
2010 is a year of Republican tide, and that almost certainly means there are a great many centrists and independents who are looking for reasons to support the GOP candidate.
Right now, they’re not finding those reasons. When Emmer speaks on the budget, he sounds deeper in denial than Saddam Hussein’s famous spokesman, the one who kept insisting on Saddam’s genius and triumph even as coalition tanks rolled up outside his ministry’s door.
