The Iron Range ?

Probably. That's the home of the American Communist Party. I spent 14 years of my life up there, and never figured out what it was about Da Range that gave rise to hard core liberalism. Maybe it was the Finns. Or all that dissolved iron in the water.

Who could forget old Gus Hall (real name was Hallberg, but changed it because he thought it sounded too Jewish).
Part of my career was associated with "da Range," and I have to say I never saw such pure envy as I did in the Arrowhead.

Strong Unions. That was Wellstone country back when he was alive. I'm not sure what you'd call it now.
