In an interview with Minnesota Public Radio, state Rep. Erik Paulsen, the leading Republican candidate to replace retiring Rep. Jim Ramstad (R-MN), offers his thoughts on the coming Congressional campaign:
“This is absolutely another wonderful opportunity to enter public service at a different level, focusing on issues like globalization and issues that I think that I genuinely care about and I think have learned a lot about some expertise on now and try to carry that to a new level as we do try to educate our kids for a global economy,” he said. “So that’s something in the back of my mind that definitely interests me and the opportunity, and I think I would do a good job.”
This guy needs to re-take “Soundbytes For The Media 101”.

I hate soundbytes.
he could always try for Miss Teen South Carolina.
Paulsen’s generally known for being reasonably articulate. He must have been running late for “The O’Reilly Factor” when he made that comment. Paulsen’s too conservative for MN-03. If he’s the nominee, I’m pretty confident we’ll take this seat.
