PEEK-A-BOO!
But it looks like the strange Mark Dayton squeeked a win in the governor’s race. There may be a recount but Democrat Secretary of State Mark Ritchie and Acorn will take care of that like they did for Al Franken.
While this is great news, it really is an indication of how bad things are. Most of us knew it, the media won’t admit it, but the voters confirmed it.
Alright Minnesota!!!Finally after Al Franken you had it coming!!!
That’s what they get for stealing the US Senate seat! Can anyone spell BACKLASH?
Not just Minnesota. This morning, Republicans-elect control 20 more State Houses than they did yesterday. The last time the Republicans controlled this many State Legislatures was back in the 1920s.
The biggest impact this will have is on Congressional Redistricting as a result of the 2010 Census. Maybe some of the Gerrymandering that has gone on for so long can be undone, and that is an outstanding way to get some of these deeply entrenched Dhimmies rooted out of the Congress. If they had to stand to election in a normalized District, they would not stand a chance.
Lots of work to do in the State Houses next year, and that is where a lot of action will be taking place as well...
The problem in MN is you have a bunch of SOCIALIST farmers in Western MN that depend on government subsidies to pay for their new 4 wheel drive crew cab trucks every year...
And now they have to govern well, or they’ll be back out again in less than a decade.
My liberal family members are likely still in shock this morning. They were quite flabbergasted when they came for a visit, six months after they pulled the lever for Obama, at just how unpopular he was here. Apparently, some lady in WalMart gave them an earful (LOL). Now their entire state has reinforced it.
Yet Chilly still hangs on as well as Farve
Beyond the state-level races in Minnesota, you also had Democrat Jim Oberstar defeated after he had been in Congress for decades. That guy was a fixture in the House and had some key committee assignments (including the House transportation committee chairmanship formerly held by Don Young).
Woo Hoo!
Only sad spot is emmer is currently down about 10K votes and there are not many left to count. Right now Dayton is up .49% so I think that means automatic recount.

Ha - I am stuned!!
Here I have been moping around all day dealing with the prospect of dayton winning - along with a DFL legislature.
Someone coined(?) Minnifornia - and so it would be with total DFL control.
My outlook is much brighter - thanks for the post.
I must repent too. God IS in control - whether or not our political hopes are realized.
