Running mates

Posted at 4:32 PM on June 13, 2006 by Bob Collins (2 Comments)

A bunch of blogs have been speculating on lt. gov candidates so I guess I can wade into this stuff too. First, I have absolutely no insight into the campaigns; in fact I don't even think there's a campaign out there still talking to me.

Kerri Miller, ace host of Midmorning and well-connected Capitol insider, walked by a few minutes ago and quickly opined on the rumors.

"Is Judi Dutcher going to be Mike Hatch's running mate?" I asked as I put a pen and a pad of paper in front of her. "It's for my son," I added pleadingly.

"Didn't your son just graduate from high school?" she smartly answered.

"It's for my mother," I said.

"Why would Judi Dutcher give up a well-paying gig at the Minnesota Community Foundation?" she said, casting one eye at me and the other at her bodyguard as if to say, "take him out."

"What about Hutchinson?" I asked, knowing she would immediately determine that I wasn't asking if Peter Hutchinson would make a fine running mate for Mike Hatch.

"I'm hearing Maureen Reed's name," she said.

Now I am too.

I really, really hope someone resized Dr. Reed's photo on that website...

No, Charlie, it's not resized. It's actually a brilliant move my Hutchinson. He's sure to get the Conehead vote this way.
