What is with CD-06? [View all]

For 20 years I’ve wanted to flip this seat. Patty Wetterling, El Tinklinberg, Jim Graves all lost to GOP Bachman or Emmer. Does GOP run stealth candidates as DFL to keep it red? Am I being paranoid? Now the only “DFL” opponent to Tom Emmer is Ian Todd and it seems he’s not even trying. I’ve written to him about his lukewarm candidacy and got a vague response. I wish Al Franken would run, but that’s a fantasy.
Frustrating, with the right candidate it could be blue again.
