Taking the political skirmishing to a new level, state Republicans announced Thursday that its trackers following DFL gubernatorial candidate Mark Dayton will begin wearing "uniforms" -- including T-shirts that read, "I'm with the guy who wants to raise your taxes."
The latest Republican announcement followed Dayton's criticism that the party's trackers were being intrusive, and should wear identification saying which party or candidate they work for.
"We are happy to accommodate his wishes," said Michael Brodkorb, the Republican Party's deputy chair. "If he has any future requests, we are all ears."
The party said the trackers would be wearing their new "uniforms" as they followed Dayton at the Minnesota State Fair. The party said that one of the other "uniforms" would include a T-shirt that refers to Dayton's tenure as a U.S. Senator, and include the phrase, "I'm with one of America's Worst Senators."
Both T-shirts would also have an arrow that, when worn by a tracker, would presumably point toward Dayton.
