I went with Jim Abeler due to his 92% rating by the NRA.  It would have been nice if GOCRA could have rated State Senate, US Senate, US HR and Governor before the primary.

Just got back from voting, I went the same. Based on the NRA and his wife has a carry permit.

If you will recall several years ago he was 1 of 6 republicans to vote to override the Pawlenty budget veto. Jim "the enabler" Abler. I have lived in his house district for close to 10 years, and after seeing his antics at the Anoka county fair the year he failed to get the endorsement for my house district I would never vote for him under any circumstance. He would turn on us in an instant if it fit his personal needs or goals.

In short, he has backed stealth universal background checks and gun registration after the most recent nonsense.

He does have some other good qualities when it comes to libertarian ideals but is no Rand Paul or Ted Cruz.

I do consider him to the right of Norm Coleman.

McFadden is now the R-endorsed candidate. We'll have to work with him and educate about the right to keep and bear.

I think he will need some educations.  Seems as though he has just adopted generic talking points at this stage and may not have a strong stance in either direction.

I will pull the lever for McFadden but Frankinfraud will take it

ETA to clarify. It doesn't matter who I vote for because honest Al is going to steal my vote and the election just like he did last time

I'm just curious.

They party failed to endorse any candidate for the house seat he held. The party only allows materials from endorsed candidates in their booth so Jim Abler was not allowed to put his materials in the booth that year. If I recall correctly he showed up in the middle of the day and made a scene to try to get his stuff on the table, and when that didn't work he came back after hours and more or less ransacked the booth.
