Yeah, Dems will go pretty low. Over the past week, I have seen many signs offering college students free food if they get out and vote. (Democratic of course) Although the signs didn’t explicitly state which party, the “VOTE FOR THE CHANGE WE NEED” kinda gave it away. IMO, bribing college students with free food is pretty low.
Just voted here in CA. Very crowded, very organized..... 10 minutes. Of course my Prez vote doesn’t count, but I was happy to vote for our initiatives and down ballot candidates.
My jsings will NEVER submit!
Thanks for sharing. I’m down here in Texas and the election’s already over here. It’s great to hear about what’s happening in the battleground states, and MN is definitely one of them, regardless of what the media reports.
You might be surprised!

I voted on Thursday, so I’m just sitting here wondering if I should pull my car into the backyard to avoid vandalism later...
WELCOME TO FREE REPUBLIC’S MINNESOTA PING LIST!
115 MEMBERS AND GROWING...!
FREEPMAIL ME IF YOU WANT ON OR OFF THIS LIST!
I live in Rio Grande Valley Texas however I received an email forward from my Mother this morning. It was a Pro McCain/Palin email. The shocking thing was that she forwarded it to me from her relitives in Minnesota. They are all Hard core union Democrats. Don’t know that they will vote McCain but they damned sure won’t vote Obama.
I had the same experience. My husband and I arrived a few minutes before the polls opened and stood in line with about 100 other people. We were in and out in 10 minutes. Of course we live in a lovely rural area that is made up of informed, responsible voters. We all knew the drill and we all knew how we were voting on the various propositions and how to work the equipment.
On a side note, a received an email from a friend who is a fairly well known musician wishing that I "get cancer" for voting yes on Prop 8. It was sent at 3 AM and he was probably drunk but I wrote back and told him I may need to reconsider my opinion of him if an apology was not forthcoming.
Please don't do such things. It makes the rest of us look stupid by association.
I wore light brown socks today, but I voted three weeks ago.
I don’t know....flicking the bird and then yelling “Go Hillary” could work!!
LOL
Conservatives in the Twin Cities have earned the right to be pessimistic :) I’m a pastor in an inner city evangelical church in St. Paul, and I can assure you that Obama will do well here. I’m pretty much surrounded.
But I do have HOPE that this will be the year! I think Palin will do much better on the iron range than your typical Republican. I’m cautiously optimistic about Minnesota (or incautiously pessimistic?).
Now I’m going to walk over to my neighbor’s house (the OTHER conservative family in St. Paul) and accompany the woman to the polls. They are new to this neighborhood and haven’t registered yet. I have to vouch for her that she lives in the neighborhood. (If they give us any trouble, and McCain loses, we plan to cry “voter suppression” and trash the capitol city tonight. Not sure how much damage two families can do, though. Hard to even turn over a small car with only two guys and a couple of slightly built women...)
What’s your take on the Coleman race?
I think Coleman wins by 3-4 points.
That’s what a lot of others are saying too.
I hope we’re right!
