Other than St. Cloud, Cold Spring and even lil' Melrose being overrun with Somalians, Stearns is still leaning conservative, isn't it?

I hope so, 'cause that's where we're gonna be buried there someday...and I don't relish the thought of rolling over in the permafrost.

Yep, thankfully. By a pretty wide margin (8 percentage points or more) since 2000, too. That's even with Saint Cloud State University right here, as well. Needless to say, I cannot wait to leave. This town is not what it used to be. It's nowhere NEAR what it was when I growing up.

You should be okay. Stearns will hang on for quite some time, still...I think.
