Why Not Lynne Torgerson in Minnesota?, If Scott Brown Can Do It in Massachusetts

...finally: Someone smart and understands how to run the country... and she's in Minnesota? 2010 is proving to be a hard slog for congressional Democrats. Martha Coakley's inheritance of "The Kennedy Seat" in Massachusetts may prove illusory next week and Keith Ellison, recipient of J Street money and America's first Islamic congressman, may end his career as a freshman at the hands of Lynne Torgeson, savvy Minneapolis lawyer who is running as an independent this year in Minnesota's Fifth Congressional District.

Ms. Torgerson has just won an important decision from the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, overturning Minnesota's Massachusetts-like Supreme Court. Her victory on behalf of her client whose habeas corpus rights were apparently violated is certain to enhance her chances of unseating the CAIR-associated Mr. Ellison. Named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the successful prosecution of The Holy Land Foundation, the Council on American Islamic Relations has maintained its ties with Mr. Ellison who is one of its staunchest supporters. Numerous CAIR officials have been convicted on terrorism related charges. Nihad Awad, the group's director is on record supporting HAMAS and the recently convicted Holy Land Foundation, a HAMAS front group. All of this appears to be the perfect profile for financial support from Jeremy Ben Enemi's J Street group.

On the other hand, expect virulent condemnations of Ms. Torgerson from the "Pro Israel" organization. Her revelations about Mr. Ellison and his strong connections to antisemitic groups like CAIR and The Islamic Society of North America are resonating with Minnesota voters. She has successfully filled in the blanks that Mr. Ellison leaves out. Watch out for the upset in frigidland this year
