"I also respected that Paulsen was willing to stop the negativity of the campaign but Madia just didn't come across that he was willing to come out against it."

I just fell off my chair....

Paulsen was willing to stop the negativity? Madia was not willing to come out against it?

FACT: Paulsen had exactly 1 positive ad. After that it was character assassination, racism, divisive, vile crap that he supported 100%. He selfishly relished the creative ways his allies helped him tear down Madia.

FACT: Ashwin condemned any ad that was inaccurate, regardless of who created it. He said this in every debate, and repeatedly when asked by the media.

How can you say you respect Erik after he clearly demonstrated that he is the most devisive and dishonest candidate the 3rd CD has ever seen?

Ashwin's insisted on running a positive issue oriented campaign. When I spoke to him on Tuesday night, I congratulated him for running this campaign the right way, and told him I was proud to fight for his cause.

I noticed the left hook too Gavin. With no rebuttal on closing statements, Paulsen decided to repeat his previously debunked attacks on taxes.

Ashwin statement on Iraq was so powerful, a thoughtful response with no fluff. That's what I like about Ash, he loves his country and is not afraid to say it outloud.

Erik must think the voters are really stupid.

Why... Why... Why does Erik refuse to address the issues critical to middle class families? He seems clueless and frankly desperate to base his entire campaign on negative attacks against Ash.

Not that I'm complaining, but it sure is puzzling.

The fact that Ashwin volunteered to join the United States Marine Corps after attending law school says a lot about his character. As a young lawyer, primed for a high paying position at a top law firm, he could have opted for the money. But instead, he became a Marine, and spent 4 years serving our country proudly. For that, he deserves our gratitude.

Madia served in Iraq, stationed primarily in Baghdad in 2005 and 2006. He worked with U.S. military and civilian officials, European Union and United Nations representatives, and Iraqi judicial officers on the Integrated Rule-of-Law Mission. He also briefed top U.S. generals on the status of rule of law efforts in the country.

Spend 5 minutes with Ashwin, and you sense his strong commitment to serve the country he loves. His thoughtful approach to difficult challenges and his willingness to take principled stands have inspired me.

Take a closer look at Ashwin's positions on the issues... he will work to make education more affordable for Minnesota families, bring fiscal responsibility to Washington D.C, and bring a responsible end to the war in Iraq.
