Klobuchar Facing Little Opposition In Minnesota - Hotline On Call

Klobuchar Facing Little Opposition In Minnesota - Hotline On Call

"On the heels of a state election where Republicans picked up a U.S. House seat, took control of both the state House and Senate, and came close to winning a gubernatorial contest, one would think the GOP would have at least a decent shot in the state's 2012 Senate race with a Democrat up for reelection.

That is, unless the state being discussed is Minnesota and that Democrat happens to be Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D).

Klobuchar was elected to her first term in a landslide in 2006, defeating her Republican opponent by 20 points. She heads into 2012 with a very encouraging approval rating, statewide popularity and a notable lack of a formidable Republican challenger on the horizon; all at a time when many Senate Democrats are playing defense across the country.

"Clearly, it's going to be a formidable undertaking. I don't think there is any doubt about that," said Minnesota GOP strategist Gregg Peppin, of the challenge facing Republicans trying to unseat Klobuchar.

One key to Klobuchar's success has been her ability to sound bipartisan while still voting largely on party lines."

High-profile lawyers retained for possible Supreme Court recount

High-profile lawyers retained for possible Supreme Court recount

Kloppenburg's campaign is working with Marc Elias, an attorney with Perkins Coie, a Washington D.C.-based firm with an office in downtown Madison. Elias is the same attorney who represented Democratic challenger Al Franken in his eight-month epic recount battle with incumbent Republican Norm Coleman. Franken eventually prevailed, winning his U.S. Senate seat by 312 votes.

Former Gov. Lucey withdraws support from Prosser

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Former Democratic Gov. Patrick Lucey is withdrawing his support for Justice David Prosser for Supreme Court and is throwing it to Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg.

Lucey released a statement to the media Thursday evening saying the campaign has revealed what he called "a disturbing distemper and lack of civility" in Prosser, though he did not cite specifics.

At the same time, Lucey says he has continued to be impressed by Kloppenburg, saying she has shown the proper judicial temperament.

The campaign between the incumbent Prosser and Kloppenburg has been contentious. A public-policy group recently calculated that spending on the race has reached $1.7 million.

Lucey says he has resigned as the honorary co-chairman of Prosser's campaign. A message left at Prosser's campaign was not immediately returned Thursday night.
