I thought Gus Hall was New York guy. He lived in Yonkers for a while.
If Republicans can make large inroads to the range, Minn. will become Trump country.
Maybe Minnesotans are finally starting to figure out how deplorable Democrats really are.
If everybody threw 20 bucks Jim’s way every quarter, the Freepathons would go quickly.
The 8th is my district, Radinovich was never even close, despite what “the polls” said. Stauber should win this going away.
Born in Cherry, MN and acquired his distasteful politics on the Iron Range.
I grew up in eastern North Dakota and, during the 1972 presidential election and chose to do my project on Communist Party, USA because I wanted to show just how much old Gus had in common with George McGovern.
It was amazing how much gear CPUSA would send you for free if you wrote and gave them the right sob story. I scored an "A" not only because it looked like I went to a lot of trouble to collect all that, but because the teacher was bored with the vast majority of students who chose McGovern or Nixon for the project. (Or maybe beacuse she was a closet Commie).
That could be a factor in making the race competitive.
I’m sure, the Dems don’t want to lose what they think is an easy seat. After Oberstar retired, a Republican (Chip Cravaak) won, so the district is definitely winnable.
