Last hilarious pathetic political arm flails in your local races: list them here.

It's almost over, time for yer local political hopefuls to say truly embarrassing and pandering things in a final attempt for the hearts and minds of etc etc. Lets have one final laugh together before darkness descends over us all.

Meg Whitman realizes she has flushed 150 million dollars of her own money down the tubes, gets annoyed.

Here's Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) pretty much giving us her "You won't have Blank Lincoln to kick around anymore" speech.

She's a Democrat getting trounced by a Republican who looks a Disney Country Bear, so she blames... the labor unions?

local stuffed meat casing dressed as a republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer was just on a debate on MPR. The question he was asked was "If you were not in the room, what would your wife say was your greatest weakness?"

and his response

"She would say that I care too much."

I feel like I just went on an awkward first date with Tom Emmer

Well....

Standard answer to standard job interview question, right?

Or: I am something of a perfectionist/hard on myself/honesty/etc.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - LeBron James may be gone, but he's not forgotten -- even by those playing politics instead of basketball.

James is the face of an attack mail piece aimed at Democratic Attorney General Richard Cordray that is headed for some area mailboxes.
The mail campaign, launched by Americans United for Safe Streets, uses a photo of James on the cover with a tagline asking, "Florida took Lebron. What did we get in return?" On the mailer's flip side, the punchline: "They sent us 92 illegal guns and gun-toting criminals. And Richard Cordray is letting them do it."

Or, Cameron's "I cannot tell a lie, always been hopeless at it" from a while ago.

Did they photoshop his jersey or did they find one without any copyrighted NBA logos?

the Emmer thing only got more painful when Mark Dayton all but stormed the podium to make sure for the umpteenth time that everyone was aware that he is an alcoholic.

So, is this the thread where we list how the rent is too damn high?

Maybe he should refinance his mortgage. Interest rates are lower than they've ever been.

On the mailer's flip side, the punchline: "They sent us 92 illegal guns and gun-toting criminals."

So, could that be, like, 89 illegal guns and 3 criminals?

Guns toting guns. That's what I fear.
