Ole Savior hasn't had much luck getting elected as a DFLer.
He's run unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate, Congress and governor more than a few times (he placed dead last at the DFL endorsing convention last month in Duluth).
Perhaps that's why Savior decided to run for governor as a Republican.
That's right, the party of Ronald Reagan and Tim Pawlenty is now the party of Ole Savior.
It's right there on his filing form.
Office: "Governorship"
Party: "Republican."
He paid his $300 filing fee in cash, according to the form.
