The Franken effect.

Too late, you idjits.

Gov Tim Pawlenty is speaking out against both RomneyCare and ObamaCare.

[driftless2]

Hearken back to the days immediately following The Great Spreader’s election. Many “experts” were saying this was the death of the Pubbie Party. My thought was (1) Obama owed a lot of his win to the late September financial crisis (blamed entirely on the Pubbies by the media) and (2)Obama would help with the resurgence of the Pubbies with his own disastrous ineptitude.

Land of the imbeciles that elected Franken

At least the American public realizes that Republicans may be bad but liberals are infinitely worse. Problem is they have to be reminded every 5 to 10 years the hard way.

Perhaps conservatives ought to register as Republicans just to cause panic in the ‘Rat ranks. This would be very effective if done before they come back to carry water for BO’s deathcare bill in September.

[Jabba the Nutt]

Will Republican politicians make their usual mistake and think they get elected, because they're better managers of the welfare state? Or that Americans reject Welfarism and the way to political success is to also reject Welfarism and expand Freedom.

Republican politicians are the politically stupidest politicians on the planet, so don't hold your breath.

The primary reason why MN is turning around so quickly is not because of Obama, though that is helping things along.

If anyone knows who Margaret Kelliher, Larry Pogemiller, and Tarryl Clark are, then you know why the GOP in MN is starting to expand again. It’s because those three have attempted to singlehandedly hurt Minnesotans.

The last two major budgets and other issues have hurt the DFL in places they’ve never hurt before (see: Iron Range).

[The Great RJ]

Aside from the brie and Birkenstock liberals in Lake Minnetonka, the hard core union activists and community organized minorities in the Twin Cities, most of the rest of Minnesota (so-called out state)is pretty conservative. DFL members of Congress voting for cap and trade will be in big trouble if it passes and the health care debacle should get most people riled. The Franken embarrassment is just starting and will only get worse. Good times possibly for the Minnesota GOP.
