This article is being subject to repeated undoing of article cleanup. While the subject of the article is clearly controversial, the following problems are noted in the previous version, which was flagged for poor quality: -Selective stating of rankings from advocacy groups, which vary wildly from year to year, and also do not always support the rankings of other advocacy groups. -Use of non-neutral terms such as "pro-abortion". "Pro-Life" is similarly a non-neutral term, each is used by particular advocacy groups on each side of the issue. The cleanup version eliminated all such terms while still noting the subject's mixed rankings. -A further list of items phrased as though written by his political opponent.

The first half of the article was generally okay all along. Other users which have been undoing the cleanup have been non-registered users and have not contributed specific changes, rather undoing cleanup to the previous flagged version. If content of the cleanup version is disputed, it should be discussed in the talk pages or selectively edited, rather than continual "undo" of changes.

The "Future" section does not seem appropriate for Wikipedia. This section is hypothetical, and has a definite bias. It is written in a manner to influence the future, which it suggests should be that voters not vote for Erhardt because he is a spoiler. I would suggest that a Wikipedia administrator remove this section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DoctorJava (talk • contribs) 20:24, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will correct District leanings statement. It is wholesale nonsense that Minnesota District 41A moved from Republican Leaning to (written incoherently) a member of the Democrat Party. The district contains a highly educated involved citizenry which did lean Republican but historically often has voted for the candidate. One can not classify based on a single race. In the prior author's examples, in the same elections in which the district voted for a Democrat presidential candidate and a Democrat US Senator it also voted for numerous Republican state and local candidates - for example the subject of this article Ron Erhardt getting landslide wins as a Republican. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.225.148.185 (talk) 05:19, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Monitor Page

Note that this page ought to be kept under close watch by Wikipedia in 2014. Observed today during 2014 election contest that what must be opposing partisans are posting more of the above referred to incoherent mean spirited wild ramblings and references created by themselves. One might assume that for the benefit of their own candidate they are trying to take advantage of the Google effect where this biography appears on search engines and on generic Facebook known-person profile pages not under control of the named party. It appears another non-member has reverted said changes or I would have as a result of my watch status. Assignor (talk) 00:06, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
