By Marc Ambinder

Feb 1 2008, 2:02 PM ET Comment

Here's the headline on a Minnesota Republican Party press release:

"#1 LIBERAL SENATOR VISITS MINNESOTA TOMORROW"

The full release, after the jump.,

#1 LIBERAL SENATOR VISITS MINNESOTA TOMORROW

St. Paul- Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Ron Carey today issued the following statement regarding Barack Obama’s visit to Minnesota.



“In spite of all the feel good rhetoric, Barack Obama fundamentally lacks the experience, leadership and accomplishments necessary to be commander in chief. Given his extreme partisanship, status as the candidate of MoveOn.org and his position as the nation’s most liberal senator, Minnesotans won’t be fooled by Obama.”
