Johnson is doing very well and has a chance.

I heard from some insiders in a pair of MN campaigns last night and they are thrilled Ellison won his race, because now they think the GOP will win both the governor and the AG, as well as flip a couple (possibly three) House seats.

After living in MN for the last 4 years, I would agree.
The RATS made a tactical error with Ellison as AG.
Assuming the GOP isn’t afraid to attack him.

The Wisconsin raw vote totals from last night do not bode well for the republicans. 81,000 more votes for Dems in total than Scott Walker. 2,000 more votes for the Dem challengers to Paul Ryan’s seat than the flock of Republicans running for that seat. time will tell, but I think Walker is in trouble. Also look for Sean Duffy to have a tough time in northern part of the state.

I’m not convinced that Johnson will win the Governor’s race. His last two runs for statewide office were well...not so good. They were anemic and underfunded.

His supporters claim that he’s learned from the last two races. Based upon what I say of him during the GOP county and district conventions as well as on the campaign trail this summer, I’m not so sure he’s learned.

I voted for Pawlenty. Not because I thought Pawlenty was great. I thought at least he gave the GOP a chance of winning the Governors office in November. I just don’t see Johnson giving us that great of a chance.

Johnson’s best chance would have been if the Dem nominee was Erin Murphy. an inner city ultra liberal leftist. But she lost to Tim Walz. Walz is a tough opponent. He’s been elected to Congress from a GOP-leaning district because he’s been really greasy about portraying himself as a centrist. Trust me, he’s anything but a centrist.

I would hope that the GOP will do everything they can to tie Ellison to Walz.

We'll flip the 8th and the 6th. I think Paulsen loses the 3rd. Jason Lewis will win and so will Emmer.

The Ellison win is good for Doug Wardlow, the GOP candidate who is very strong.
