	PUBLISHER'S NOTEBOOK: week of August 23, 2006 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Last week, Louis Reiter of Elgin, Minn., sought to have Gutknecht's name expelled from the ballot, because most of the signatures he presented in place of a $300 election filing fee were gathered before the July 4 to 18 filing period.
		Gutknecht called the effort to remove him "a political dirty trick." He said the Legislature wanted to avoid cluttering the ballot with a multitude of names, so it set the bar higher for minor party candidates than for major party endorsed candidates.
		It is clear that Gutknecht is the choice of Republicans for the ballot and a court win may just backfire, energizing Republicans in what has always been a low key race.

	Ramblings \| Congressman Gil Gutknecht got schooled by a ninth-grade civics student
		I was a little angry about Gutknecht's misleading and cleverly-phrased comment, and apparently, so were a few students in the class.
		Gutknecht thought the kids were stupid, and assumed they wouldn't realize the high spending he's "working hard to keep down" is there because he didn't do his job in the first place.
		Gutknecht getting schooled by a ninth-grader is a perfect example of this.

		Gil has failed to represent Rochester in any way, but it gets better.

		Gil stood with the GOP in calling anyone who supported troop withdrawals cowards, then not a month later does a complete 180.

	Bluestem Prairie: news about Tim Walz (MN-1): Newt Gingrich
		GOP Rep. Gil Gutknecht and DFL challenger Tim Walz brought in a couple of political heavyweights on Sunday in the latest sign that the U.S. congressional race is shaping up to be a dogfight.
		On the one hand there's GOP incumbent Gil Gutknecht who has invited his buddy Newt Gingrich to help him campaign for a promise-breaking, "chuck the Contract with America" out the window seventh term in Congress.
		Perhaps Gutknecht had Gingrich in mind in when he warned that it wasn't time to go wobbly on Iraq in June; maybe Gingrich's wobbling was on his mind later in the summer when Gil changed his own position on the Iraqi war.

		Gutknecht by all accounts was completely schooled by Tim Walz.
		There has been no sudden change regardless of our opponents claims that Congressman Gutknecht “refuses” to talk about the war in Iraq based on the quote which you appropiatly refer to as a preference of what people are talking about from the WSJ.
		Following his comments about Iraq and the very open debate of free-flowing ideas between him and his opponent, Tim Walz, the Gutknecht campaign has removed mention of the totally-out-of-context quote from Walz (he was talking about truth in advertising) that Gil lazily and intentionally used to make it seem like Walz was against free speech.

	Gil Gutknecht May Run Against Sen. Mark Dayton In 2006
		Gil Gutknecht said Thursday he is considering running for U.S. Senate next year, putting his name on a list of potential Republican candidates that already includes fellow Minnesota Rep. Mark Kennedy.
		Gil's a great guy, and he's certainly deserving of a shot, but I think that Mark tossed his hat in first.
		My other concern with Gutknecht vacating his seat is that it may provide Tim Penny to come back and win his old seat (and he was incredibly popular in his district).
