Yesterday I had the pleasure to spend the afternoon with the terrific folks behind Pam Wolf's run for the Minnesota state House in District 51B, playing golf at her fundraiser. Despite my golf handicap -- which is my complete lack of talent for the game -- I even managed to make par. (On one hole.) Pam, I found out, is not just a schoolteacher but also a golf instructor. I asked her for a few tips and she said, "Vote Republican." Great advice, especially this year!

You couldn't ask for a nicer day to play golf or a nicer group of people to walk a course. Pam's campaign manager, Brian, was my partner for the tournament, and fortunately both of us had the same attitude towards winning. Afterwards, everyone had hamburgers and hotdogs, and chatted about Pam's district, the issues involved, the seeming disappearance of her opponent (Connie Bernardi), and the Vikings, who wound up winning 35-17 in their home opener.

If you missed out, you can still help Pam out by donating to her campaign at her web site. She's facing a tough race, but Pam is very optimistic about her chances with all of the support she's been given. She even has a PayPal account all set up for donations right from her website. Let's help send a fresh voice to the capitol and help the Republicans maintain their majority in the House.
