We'll see. I was born and grew up in MN leaving in 1965. My relatives still live back there and the in-laws bring up this comment every Thanksgiving - “I would vote for a monkey before a Republican”. Heavy union state and lots of “victim classes” - the churches in the twin city area actively go out and seek Somalians to bring back to MN. Last time I was at the Mall of America it looked like a middle east country with about half the woman “fully clothed” if you know what I mean. The twin cities area has lots of Indians, blacks, and other classes all living in housing projects that are too dangerous to even walk near. I suppose that is like any large urban area, but IMHO they have more of it and we all know how they are brought to the polls by RATS.

"My relatives still live back there and the in-laws bring up this comment every Thanksgiving - “I would vote for a monkey before a Republican”."

You might point out to them that it appears they did just that.

I have lived in Minnesota my entire life. Yes, there are idiots here who would vote for a Democrat over a Republican, only because that is the way they have always voted. But, those folks are dying off.

I have an elderly couple in my neighborhood who are daily church goers. They proclaim that they have never voted for a Republican and never will. Instead, they go and vote for Democrats who hate Christians, hate Catholic Christians especially, and who are destroying our wonderful country.

Unfortunately, this type of person is not exclusive to Minnesota. Al Franken is very vulnerable, and it is the reason that I am supporting Mike McFadden. He is sufficiently Conservative, certainly more so than Sen. Norm Coleman, and has lots of energy and potential to be a successful fundraiser. We do have a group of good candidates for the GOP nomination for US Senate. I could easily vote for any one of them: McFadden, Chris Dahlberg or Julianne Ortmann.

In MN, it is utter foolishness to wait for the coming of another Ronald Reagan. It is not going to happen. We need to rally behind whomever is nominated, and be assured that any one of them is heads above Al Franken.

I would give anything if the GOP was as politically savvy as the DemocRATS. They’re street wise and the GOP is naive.
