“(It had a GOP governor from 1991-1999, 2003-2011, and GOP senators from 1995-2001”
You mean Jesse Ventura? I would laugh that he’s the epitome of GOP but may be in today’s GOPE, he would fit right in.
>> You mean Jesse Ventura? <<
Uh, nope. Ventura was Governor 1999-2003. The GOP governors were there from 1991-1999 (Carlson) and 2003-2011 (Pawlenty). In short, Ventura was a one-term fluke between two "R" governors who both had two terms each.
Fieldmarshaldj is quite accurate that the state didn't have any RAT governors from 1986-2010 though. Also, the RAT candidate who ran against Ventura (Hubert Humphrey III) ended up in a distant third place finish. All of which seems pretty odd if the state is safe Dem as others here have alleged.
