STRANGE??!!
Don’t forget their muslim congressiman.
I grew up there. Very liberal urban area. Artists, educators, ghettos and powerful unions. Just as bad as Boston or San Fran.
The suburbs and rural areas are very conservative. Families, churches, sportsmen, farmers, engineers. When you can find a democrat in these conservative areas, he's usually a JFK type. Bachmann comes from a district just north of the metro area.
Having grown up there, I can say that Minnesotans want to be recognized nationaly. While most Minnesotans aren't this stupid, it only takes a small handful of them to have an effect in a purple state. In the case of Franken, it only took a couple more votes to win.
Soros and his orginizations are going to pour lots of money into the State to try to defeat her in Nov.
I don't think "they" elected him.
I’m from MN and the only thing I can say is that MN crazies from the Iron Range, and Twin Cities & any college towns, very stupidly, but typical for ignorant, dumb ass liberals, voted for a buffoon like Franken. And in the case of Michelle Bachmann, the liberals are always gunning for her, especially when we have an Acorn SOS Mark Ritchie (also another reason for Franken’s so called “victory”) who will do all he can to undermine the voting process and try to take Michelle down in 2010.
