I know how you feel. We finally bit the bullet and moved out of Minneapolis 2 years ago.
We now live in Carver County, the most conservative county in this blue state.
It took awhile to adjust from urban living to ex-urban living, but now I love it. People are still sane here. LOL
I know, Barb. I know.
I was watching the Sec of State's web site last night and Erlandson had a nice lead - albeit with only 22 precincts reporting.
The numbers didn't move much from 9 'til 10PM and then the local news said he was winning by a large margin.
I seriously felt sick! I really did. I still do. I'm amazed that the DFL could endorse such a ethically-challenged bigot like Ellison.
I gotta hand it to Ellison though. He put together a coalition of blacks, Hispanics, Somalis and guilt-ridden white liberals into a winning formula.
It also helped him that the white vote was split amongst three other candidates. If there had been one opponent against Ellison, he likely would have lost.
As for moving, try west Bloomington, Burnsville or Eden Prairie. That's still GOP turf out there.
