FLASHPOINT

Thu, Jul 27, 2006 (7:40 a.m.)

With early voting only a few days away, at least two scary possibilities still exist. First, Bob Stupak, the Polish Maverick himself, could end up becoming the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor. No one has spent money on that side. Hello? On the other side, Lonnie Hammargren, who had the job once and remains well known, could win it again, according to recent polls. He still has name ID and the potential to do great harm. Or is it the potential to do great comedy? I'm sure there are other frightening prospects out there, depending on your point of view. But Stupak vs. Hammargren for the right to be a heartbeat away from the mansion? That's at the top of the list.
