   Tim Olson for State Representative, District 46B: This saddens me, for
   I've known the incumbent Debra Hillstrom from her City Council days.
   She used to be a centrist, at least by DFL standards. No longer. She
   has suddenly lurched far left, I think because she received a
   committee gavel this term. I know almost nothing about Tim Olson, but
   even he votes like RINO Ron Earhardt, it's still an improvement. Debra
   Hillstrom has not lost touch with her community per se but she has
   lost touch with what is truly best for the northwest suburbs. That
   doesn't include new taxes on cell phones or yanking referendum ballots
   on stadium taxes out of our hands.
   Erik Paulsen for U.S. Representative, District 3: Again, I don't know
   much about Paulsen beyond a couple of interviews. But that and knowing
   how difficult it would be to pass Ramstad on the RINO meter is enough
   for me. Ashwin Madia has run a tawdry campaign even the normally
   compliant media is calling him on.
   An Honorable Mention however goes to Independence Party candidate
   David Dillon, who performed admirably on Almanac last week, winning
   the three way debate I thought. The GOP would do well to recruit him
   and Dillon should accept if he really wants to get elected.
   John McCain / Sarah Pallin for President and Vice President: I hold
   this turth to be self-evident.
