Minnesota's latest Baghdad Bob impersonator, MN Republican party chair Tony Sutton, will be running attack ads on the radio against Secretary of State Mark Ritchie. After all the rave reviews that Ritchie got for how he conducted this last election, overseeing the massive undertaking that was the recount, FEC Tony thinks Ritchie is vulnerable.
The state GOP is buying radio ad time for the next week to criticize the record of Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, a first-term Democrat. Chairman Tony Sutton claims Ritchie failed to properly train local election officials and switched his position on absentee ballots during the recent Senate recount. Sutton says he thinks Ritchie is vulnerable and he's been talking to several potential candidates. Sutton says the party will also work to unseat the DFL attorney general and state auditor.

Maybe FEC Tony is picking up right where Ron Carey left off. Maybe FEC Tony has a chance of living up to legacy that Carey left the Republicans when he abandoned ship. He still has a lot of work left to do if he's going to fail that badly.
