Lloydletta's Nooz Gets Plug from Politics in Minnesota
"Your Democratic publisher is a big fan of Air America's concept. Locally,
Janet Robert and former Congressman Bill Luther have done a great job of
building the local Air America station (950 AM) -- sometimes in spite of
the talent and personnel issues they have encountered, and many believe
Robert has created.
One personnel issue they haven't taken on is as much of a personality issue
as it is anything else. Former WCCO substitute host Wendy Wilde found
herself in a lucky spot when Air America first launched and comedian Jeff
Gerbino quit after two or three days of working for Robert. But now Wilde
is in a different sort of spot. Kudos go to the local blog Lloydetta [sic],
run by long-time political activist Eva Young, who got Wilde to confess
that she started one of these famous attack Web sites written anonymously
against Minneapolis City Council candidate Scott Persons."

I also covered the dispute between Janet Robert and Nick Coleman. The
question is whether the infamous No Guns, Gays or Abortion memo distributed
by Robert to station staff was designed to help 6th District Candidate
Elwyn Tinklenberg.

Is the Robert Lilligren Campaign Doing Push Polling?
******Lloydletta's Nooz Exclusive******
Minneapolis 6th Ward Incumbents Robert Lilligren and Dean Zimmerman were
thrown together by redistricting. It's a tight race.
A friend of mine who lives in the 6th ward told me about a strange call she
got. The call came from Voter Registration Survey, and wanted to ask her
some questions. She questioned the caller, and eventually the caller - a
woman - admitted to being from the Robert Lilligren campaign. My friend
didn't know to let the caller ask all the questions.
I called the Dean Zimmerman campaign - and they have gotten one other call
that told them about something like this. I left a message with the
Lilligren campaign for comment.
