GOP making same mistake Dems did in 1980s: Blaming bad poll #s on incumbent prez's "charisma"; refusing to concede own message flaws. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks again to @TwinWestChamber for superb advocacy on behalf of SW Corridor light rail. Real (and effective) leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

Will west metro GOP now follow biz community & constituents to support SW LRT. @PatGarofalo ("pro-transit conservative"), help us out. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

$2 million for SW Corridor light rail = huge victory! Thanks @GovMarkDayton. Legislature shld join citizens & biz community in support. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

Let's get moving on SW Corridor light rail. Popular and business-friendly. State $ will unlock more investment. http://t.co/kDUyhAyY — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyed being part of @mnbar presentation today w @ThompsonSenate re legislative issues. Dave was to my left (but only for seating). — PolitiTweet.org

BTW it can't be said often enough: Thx to @GeneralMills for courageous stand against anti-marriage amndmnt. History will judge u kindly. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

Thanks to @GeneralMills for hosting me and @Rep_SAnderson at its "Pizza & Politics" forum for employees. A thoughtful discussion. — PolitiTweet.org

Americans agree Clinton was an effective president. But remember: Clinton was called a Big Government Socialist by today's Obama-haters. — PolitiTweet.org

Value of Vikings rises due to stadium deal, but stadium legislation has aggressive "clawback" clause giving taxpayers a % of sale price. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

In photo ID case, court implied that voters dont need all relevant info on ballot Q. So, should we end "incumbent" designation for judges? — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

So, if ballot Q says "photo ID" but actual amndmt text says "govt-issued photo ID," how should legislators in '13 interpret voter intent? — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

If Photo ID amndmt wins, legislators who implement in '13 have messy job. Q will be: What do ballot title & Q say about voter intent? — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

MN Sup Ct appears to have avoided (some might say "ducked") question of whether Governor effectively vetoed ballot title &/or question. — PolitiTweet.org

Guy in my last tweet inspired me to give more to @MN4allfamilies. Don’t get mad or sad. Get involved here: http://t.co/tH9cE9Un. — PolitiTweet.org

Overheard @ StateFair anti-marriage booth as guy signs "vote yes" pledge. Wife: "But we're going to a gay wedding this fall." Guy: "So?" — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to volunteers at today's @SD46DFL kickoff to benefit my campaign as well as @RepRyanWinkler and @SenRonLatz. On to November! — PolitiTweet.org

At special legisl session, great to see retiring colleagues like Reps Kath, Lanning, Peterson, & Smith get last chance to legislate. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

Great bit in today's NYT about cause of gridlock: "#1 fantasy in America" is "that the other party will not exist." http://t.co/PaQF10K0 — PolitiTweet.org

@RepRyanWinkler If Ron Paul endorses my opponent, St. Louis Pk Jewish community will not welcome taint of Paul's anti-Israel record. — PolitiTweet.org

You can't make this stuff up: Hungarian anti-Semitic politician resigns after discovering Jewish roots. http://t.co/iTANlegG — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @HCBA_MN for inviting me to today's forum on voter ID amendment with Rep Mary Kiffmeyer. A mutually respectful exchange. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

Re MN primary results: Lake Mtka seems one of least friendly GOP areas 4 Tea Party. Tradition of mainstream GOPers. Ramstad, not Limbaugh. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

Thanks to my colleague Rep Steve Smith for his many years of service to MN. An independent thinker, and a serious legislator. — PolitiTweet.org

Final fun Olympic tally: Medals per capita. Top 3 = Grenada, Jamaica, & Trinidad. India last. US 49th. China 74th. http://t.co/ehwOZORB — PolitiTweet.org

Next time conservatives accuse others of over-regulating for sake of tiny/non-existent problem, politely point to "Photo ID" proposal. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

"Photo ID" only addresses 1 kind of fraud: Voter impersonation. New study confirms zero (!) cases in MN since 2000. http://t.co/kxMOkhQE — PolitiTweet.org

Romney will likely lose MA & WI. Last time prez/veep nominees both lost home states & won race was 1916 (Wilson of NJ & Marshall of IN). — PolitiTweet.org
