Alan Fine admits he tried to use the Independence Party
Republican endorsed 5th CD candidate Alan Fine admits in todays Star Tribune that his 2002 Independence Party Senate nomination quest was out of desperation as he knew he could not compete in his own party. So far Fine's campaign amounts to calling his African American Muslim DFL opponent a racist through Republican party leadership.
I'm sure many good residents of CD 5 would love to elect a Republican, but the nomination of Alan Fine was a pathetic mistake, and ruined any hope of a real Republican being elected. The Independence party in 2002 was smart enough not to make this same pathetic mistake of endorsing this fraud.

Running in the wrong party makes you a fraud. To say he was a Republican even when he ran with another party makes him a complete fraud.
He was rejected in 2002 because he was not ready for primetime and a qucik look at his website shows he still isn't. In general you don't want to have akward meaningless lines on top of word on your campaign web site.
The Independence Party has a great candidate in Tammy Lee. By the way is Sue Jeffers going to be allowed to attend the Republican convention, or does the Republican party still consider her a fraud?
Alan Fine is a resonably credible candidate. He still is by Republican CD 5 congressional candidate standards pretty good. The key though is he ran in a party he had no intrest in. At least Sue Jeffers does have some intrest in the Republican party having some success.
But all this is irrelevent as even a good Republican would have no chance of winning this seat. The only chance of wrestling this seat out of DFL controll is a vote for Tammy Lee in November, and it's not as if Alan Fine could use this as a stepping Stone.
While we know the Republican Party couldn't care less about the seat it is intresting they don't even care enough to at least look good in the race.
