What some knee-jerk Freepers don’t realize is that Minnesota is very quirky when it comes to politics.
Yes, we’ve elected moonbats like Ellison, Klobuchar and James “Governor Turnbuckle” Janos. We even let Stuart Smalley steal an election.
But we’ve also elected people like Bachmann, Pawlenty and Rod Grams and flipped both houses of the Legislature in 2010. We also went 25 years without electing a Democrat governor.
So the state is, in reality, purple. Going red would be wonderful in November because we have a legislature to hold, and Voter ID and the marriage amendment to get passed.
From your fingers to God's ears, Sir! :)
It was also surprising to see Norm Coleman beat Walter Mondale in 2002, but I think that was the reaction to the Wellstone Funerally.
