New Dem Spending Target: Rep. Gil Gutknecht (R-MN)

ABC's Teddy Davis reports: Democratic sources tell ABC News that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's independent expenditure will soon start advertising in the first congressional district of Minnesota.
The target? Rep. Gil Gutknecht (R-MN), a GOP House member who offered a grim assessment about conditions in Iraq after returning from the war-torn country in July of this year.
Gutknecht's grim assessment, in which he said that a partial withdrawal might be wise, sent shockwaves through political circles because it followed his saying, "Members, now is not the time to go wobbly," during a June 15, 2006 debate on the floor of the House about Iraq.
The Democrat running against Rep. Gutknecht is Democrat Tim Walz, a National Guard veteran who served in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan).
The DCCC's decision to target Rep. Gutknecht is expected to be followed by additional new spending targets.

it is nice that someone can remember that Tim Waltz is a Veteran, but I have yet to see any information on the Nightly News about this man.
What does this man have to say about the Department of Veterans Affairs denying so many claims for PTSD to service-connected Veterans?
