MN doesn't look like its going Rep, it looks like it's getting more ratty, actually. Pawlenty, the Rep governor, is losing in the polls to his Dem opponent. He was only elected by like 43%, if I remember correctly. The Dem nut Ford Bell is beating Kennedy, and he says if he's elected he'll call for immediate withdrawal. Peacenik nutcase makes the other Dem look moderate, and I think she's at the 49% mark at this point while Kennedy is still climbing into the low 40's.
Pennsylvania governor's race, and Maryland and NJ are looking good. I wouldn't get your hopes up about MN, though.
I'm still remaining optimistic we'll hold the MN Gov and reclaim the Senate seat. I don't think the 'Rats have made the argument to dump Pawlenty (his plurality victory in '02 was because of a 3-way race). I also believe Kennedy can pull out a win as the state has tended to show an aversion in recent years to electing leftist moonbats to open seats (Dayton won only because he could outspend Grams, with Grams constantly under attack from the leftist media -- and Wellstone won twice against the same opponent because he managed to snow the state with his humorous and friendly ads in '90 and Boschwitz seemed too angry in the rematch). I agree we would've been better off if Dayton opted to run for a 2nd term, but we still have 7 months to go, and a lot of things can happen in that time (after all, who predicted Wellstone dying in a plane crash right before the election that had national implications ?).
