Al Franken. Enough said!
Amy Klobuchar easily wins reelection ?
Minnesota turning red?
Has Obama lost the Somali vote?!
Would be a nice surprise, but I am not counting on it.
If MN went red this election, it would definitely be a happy day in my house. I spoke with my “lib” father this evening. He said that he is considering voting for Romney because he is concerned about the economy and national debt and doesn’t think Obama is willing to fix the problem. If HE is considering voting for Romney, there must be many other limbs considering it too.
Oops. I meant “libs,” not limbs! :-)
I really don’t expect MN to go red. I wish it were true, but I’m not holding my breath. However, I’d love to be wrong.
Your dad is a lib?? My brother is a union-loving libtard and most of my relatives. For the past 4 years, I got it up to here on their zingers about being a right-winger but once Mitt is in, I’ll make sure to gloat during the Christmas dinner. I’m so excited I get a tingle up my leg..
Poll ping
WI and MI maybe. No way PA or MN go red.
” I’ll make sure to gloat during the Christmas dinner.”
I know, it’s so tempting to want to gloat. I would recommend waiting to see whether Romney actually does something to gloat about, however. I sure hope so...
For similar reasons, I came this close to moving MN to toss-up this evening. I have it as 49-46 and “leans Obama.” Possibly, it’ll be among the surprise pick-ups on election night 50 to 49 to 1.
My adventure into St. Paul for the State Fair, convinced me they’re all still nuts in the inner-city. Crazy, howling at the moon, Amy Klobuchar nuts.
I kissed the ground when I got home in the west metro. I would love for Minnesota to go in the R column, but I don’t see it. Too many D’s in Mpls./St. Paul and Duluth.
Berkeley of the midwest. I’m glad I have other heritage to offset the Scandinavian madness, plus I’m South Dakotan by birth and upbringing. Keeps me sane.
Gov. Romney is somewhat similar to President Nixon and Mr. Obama is to the left of Sen. McGovern
Wow, MNGal, that is something. How do you have a lib dad and you’re a FReeper? That has to be interesting. I’m the daughter of broken glass South Dakota Republicans.
I don’t see MN going red either. Just isn’t going to happen.
What some knee-jerk Freepers don’t realize is that Minnesota is very quirky when it comes to politics.
Yes, we’ve elected moonbats like Ellison, Klobuchar and James “Governor Turnbuckle” Janos. We even let Stuart Smalley steal an election.
But we’ve also elected people like Bachmann, Pawlenty and Rod Grams and flipped both houses of the Legislature in 2010. We also went 25 years without electing a Democrat governor.
So the state is, in reality, purple. Going red would be wonderful in November because we have a legislature to hold, and Voter ID and the marriage amendment to get passed.
