Great news. mnpublius is reporting that DFL candidate Tim Walz is leading incumbent Republican 46% to 40% with 14% undecided. Walz has been working hard in classic Wellstone style. He's got people doorknocking throughout the district, he's got my Mom and hundreds of others phoning for him. Plus he's an inspirational leader. Tim has been outraising his opponent, too.

Fighting Democrat Tim Walz is under a smear attack of lies and innuendo in Minnesota's First Congressional District (MN-01). Republican incumbent Gil Gutknecht has been running scared for a while now ... running from his rubberstamping voting record, running from the Bush Administration and desparately hoping for something to distract voters in southern Minnesota from the real issues.
The Republicans may have found it. In 1995, Tim Walz was pulled over for speeding and arrested for DUI. The only problem for the Republicans Lie Machine is he wasn't drunk. Tim has significant hearing loss. He couldn't hear the officer who pulled him over. The judge threw the case out.
Tim's loss of hearing stems from serving as an artillery gunner in the Minnesota National Guard. Gil Gutknecht's problems stem from voting as the Bush Administration would like him to vote over 90% of the time. Call the Gutknecht Campaign and ask them to stop the dirty smear campaign:

Gil Gutknecht (R-MN) is scared. Gutknecht is frightened by his challenge from Fightin' Dem Tim Walz in Minnesota's 1st Congressional District.
Since Gutknecht has no record to run on, he is simply trying to divide the people of Southern Minnesota.
When illegal immigration was supposed to be the silver-bullet for the GOP in 2006, Gil Gutknecht was out on the front lines of the issue. He came out and joined the ranks of nutjobs like Tom Tancredo, Steve King and James Sensenbrenner with xenophobic and hateful rhetoric:
