I would like to point out that both of these events occured in a state that also chose Al Franken as a senator.

Well there is that. What is it with Minnesota anyway? Beautiful country, great fishing, nice people, good farming country, and politicians that make even people from Vermont and Massachusetts go "Huh??". Jesse Ventura (Janos), Al Franken, and (lest we forget) the wild and crazy funeral for Paul Wellstone. Not what I expect out of rice/wheat farmers and walleye fishermen from Nordic stock. Just saying.

My son lives up there and he's very conservative and very Christian. Michele Bachman is from Minnesota. I suppose there are times when a noxious wind from Madison blows in poisons the weak minded.

Minnesota has always attracted screwballs. Look at the “Wobblies” who continue to have influence in the state. They are Trotskyite lefties who make run-of-the-mill Socialists look like button-down conservatives.
