Thin in the Skin
We've had a thin-skinned Governor before, Jesse Ventura. It didn't exactly work out. Now it is candidate Mike Hatch doing the whining. But is it whining? Maybe it's desperation, to avert a blockbuster that could push Becky Lourey past him in the Primary. Maybe it's just classic Hatch over-reaction and bullying. The fact that Hatch took such quick, pre-emptive action against a supposed non-story tells me there's something there.
Regardless of the reason, it's difficult not to see a Governor Mike Hatch as one of the most personally abrasive and abusive in Minnesota history. In rejecting Hatch several times before, it's fair to say that many Minnesotans understand this already. As personable as Becky Lourey is, her campaign will take advantage if anything significant breaks from this story.
I truly hope this is the end of it. But I'll keep an eye on MDE just in case.
