Former President Bill Clinton says
Republicans are embracing "ideology over evidence" and pushing
out pragmatic voices.


      During a Democratic fundraiser Tuesday night in Minneapolis,
Clinton said a lot of the Republican Party's candidates this year
would make former President George W. Bush "look like a liberal."


      Clinton came to Minnesota to support Mark Dayton, the Democratic
nominee for governor. Dayton served in the U.S. Senate with
Clinton's wife, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, and
supported her for president in 2008.


      Organizers of Tuesday's event sought campaign donations of
between $250 and $1,000.


      Clinton is the first of two big-name Democrats campaigning on
Dayton's behalf. Dayton will appear with Vice President Joe Biden
in a few weeks.
