Seeing as how a sitting Senator has a 95% chance of reelection before any contest begins, we’ll see.

For the record: Franken won by a few hundred votes in an election where there was massive Democrat voter fraud. Basically, there were repeated recounts until the Democrats “found” or manufactured enough votes to put Franken over the top. He was not elected by the people, he was elected by the Democrat fraudulent vote machine in Minneapolis and St Paul.

“Rasmussen” polls show both of the big races in MN are well within reach, Franken leads 50%-42% and Dayton by the nearly idendical 49%-41%.

In the Senate race, the Independence Party nominee is a “tea party” guy, bad news, some fools could vote for him.

In the Governor’s race, the Independence Party nominee is a Paulbot.

Betcha the Paulbot will claim to be a “Tea Partier” (as if the TEA Party movement were about legalizing heroin, supporting Iran over Israel, open borders, and all those other nutty ideas that Paultards espouse).

or some reason, Al Franken has not appeared on many lists of vulnerable Senate Democrats.

Probably because he's not a vulnerable Senate Democrat.

Weird. The "Independence Party" was never a "conservative" branded third party, but they seem to have moved rightward in this election cycle. They used to be the state affilate of Ross Perot's Reform Party, and ironically Jesse Ventura was the only statewide elected "Reform Party" official in the country, but he quit after the Buchananites took over the Reform Party nationally, and changed the Minnesota affliate back to the Independence Party. I think they endorsed Ralph Nader in 2008 so he could get ballot access in Minnesota or something like that, and another leftist third party in 2012. Maybe the Paulbots there needed a vehicle for ballot access and took them over in 2014.

Bad news for our side if the third party candidate on the ballot is screaming "Tea Party!!!", but its probably canceled by bad news for the RATs having to run in 2014 and being tied to the hip of Obama's failed policies. I give us a 50-50 shot in both races.

Fortunately for the Paultards, a bunch of useful idiots on this board will immediately begin screaming "GOP-E! GOP-E!! GOP-E!!!" at anyone who DARES question whether voting with Hamas and Planned Parenthood is a "conservative" policy position. Gotta love how they constantly lecture us how important it is to "stand with Israel" and then fawn over a guy who does the bidding of radical Islamofascists ::cough:: Justin Amash ::cough::

Her name is Hannah Nicolett, her website reads like this,

“Understanding that neither the right nor left have a monopoly on good ideas, Hannah Nicollet takes a pragmatic approach to challenges, insisting on tangible results.”

She is a former Perot backer, so she has a fetish for fringe movements. She says shes agree with most of Libertarian platform, she sounds like she came from the left wing of that party.
