He’s not even funny anymore.

He never was

[Artie]

“Help me out here...exactly when was Minnesota anything but a bastion for liberalism?”

You are right. I was on drugs in the 70's. Everything just seemed ok. They did have some great head shops in the cities. They even used to advertise paraphenalia on the radio.

[TurboZamboni]

none of the others have even said they are running, have they?

I know Lewis has hinted, but has been for years.

[R W Reactionairy]

Franken was never funny. Inarticulate. Lunatic left. Total fool. A good candidate should send him home [wherever that is.]

[madmominct]

WHAT BS

[Carriage Hill]

It doesn’t surprise me. Look what NYC/SF/IL/MD etc has done to ruin those states and America. We’re so infiltrated and compromised that it’s too late to get our Constitutional Republic back. It’s gone.

There is only one “box” solution to it all... take a guess.

[cripplecreek]

none of the others have even said they are running, have they?

I don't believe so. In polling, the incumbent will pretty much always win against multiple potential candidates. Its a little different in an actual race where there are only 2 choices.

[Redmen4ever]

Franken’s defense may be the vulnerability of the Democrats in so many other places.

AK, AR, LA, MT, NC, SD and WV look to be much better prospects for GOP pick-ups

CO, IA, MI, NH and OR look to be as good or better

[kenmcg]

It is mind-boggling that so many so-called American voters can be so dumb!

[Daveinyork]

The late, great, USA.

[austinaero]

I do not understand Minnesota at all.

[madprof98]

Minnesota just needs to put up a conservative (complete opposite of Franken) and the Republican will win.

HA! This will happen in the latest state to join the gay marriage parade??? Dream on.

[littleharbour]

Minnesota is full of people with continental European ancestry. Look at Europe.

[Theodore R.]

Franken could be around for an eternity; that’s why Pawlenty should have challenged the “recount”. People in MN like their liberals weird now, not just old fashioned in the HHH mode.

[LMAO]

You said...
“Like most blue states if you take out Minneapolis and St. Paul the state would probably be red.”

And Duluth, and the Iron Range. Minnesota is on the path to become the next California, Illinois,New York, and any other bastion of liberal “successes.”

[Theodore R.]

Putting MT on a “GOP pickup” list always seems to fail us.

[Theodore R.]

Even Joseph Ball, whom HHH unseated in 1948, was considered a liberal, internationalist Republican.

[RedHeeler]

What State on the East Coast isn’t already supposed California?

[jjotto]

Not quite:

[joshua c]

Pee Pee Polling is caca.
