John Kerry: I'd rather he give my daughters Bratz
Republicans are about to lose control of the House—maybe even the Senate, too—and John Kerry has marched up to them and handed them a perfect gift that no sane politician of any party would ignore.

Few states are as closely divided between the major parties as Minnesota, which has a Republican governor, one Republican and one Democratic senator, an evenly split House delegation, and a state legislature divided between a narrowly Democratic-controlled Senate and a narrowly Republican-controlled House.
Neither Kline nor Democratic candidate Coleen Rowley has a primary opponent in the 2nd, where they will be joined on the November ballot by Independence candidate Douglas Williams.
Democratic officials recruited Rowley as their candidate last year and touted her highly, based on the attention she had received as an FBI agent who had tried to warn superiors of evidence of terrorist plotting prior to the 9/11 attacks and later became a whistleblower over failures by the agency.
