Minnesota is clearly in play.

Very much so. Hope Gov. Pawlenty and Sen. Coleman can help GOTV.

Without Minnesota, I don't see any possible scenario where John Kerry could be elected. President Bush, however, could win without it. I like the fact that Minnesota is so much in play that Kerry is going to have to spend time and money there protecting his "turf", allowing President Bush to dedicate more time to Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, etc.

The land of Mondale is no longer the Democratic stronghold it once was.

I am a Minnesota resident and I was contacted minutes ago by some one from a group called 'America Coming Together', asking me to participate in a "quick poll". He then asked who I would vote for today among Bush, Kerry or Nader.

I checked them out after not volunteering info. They are a Dem PAC.

I resent the hell out of their hiding behind a positive and innocent sounding identity to push poll me or to put me into a data-base in the "enemies" category, or worse.

Money they must spend here though, cannot be spent elsewhere. Minnesota, a battleground State? Hoodahthunkit?

Forget NJ, this is the state where Bush should pour extra $ into to try and pick it off.
