Just like any other State the big cities are completely infested with liberals while the rest of the State is red. I live about 25 miles south-west of Minneapolis in a county that has elected 1 democrat (DFL is what they call themselves here) mayor of 1 city in the last 30 years.
Itasca County is beautiful country and your FIL has picked a great place to live! I will be up just North of there the first week of November to harass some deer and hopefully get some meat for the freezer.
About a 4 hour drive for 3 days then back home to serve as an election judge for a day then right back up to finish up the season. I figure it will cost me about $175 in gas to come home and serve for the election, but its well worth it!
Great fishing up there! I caught some nice one in Cohasset Lake, looked for Muskie in the Missisppi head waters, but all I caught was a nice smallmouth..probably ‘cause I hit with my spoon!
