Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal will raise money for Republican Tom Emmer's campaign for governor on Monday night. The fundraiser will be at the Minneapolis Hilton at 6pm. Donors are being asked to give $500 a person. I'm checking to see if the event is open press. An Emmer spokesman says the fundraisers are closed to the press at this point.

Emmer should love the press to pieces for giving him a free ride all the way through the primary. You belittled his opposition, me, if you mentioned me at all. If Emmer becomes Governor it will be because you cheated for him.
But the people will still have a chance with me as a write-in candidate.
