I have thought all along that MN and OR are going to be VERY close.

I was born and raised in MN (lived there for over 50 years). Moved to Wyoming for a better and more free place to live

Anyway, we are back for about a week and have spent some time in Mpls and some northern suburbs.

I have seen 1, just one Obama sign and 1, bumper sticker.

This from the crazy state that loved the big 0 4 years ago

Now maybe this means nothing, but i don't think so. Zero may lose big here, but I will be back in WY, the only state in the entire country that every county was RED the last election.

I ‘m born and bred in northern Minnesota, land of sky blue waters, the Star of the North, near the shores of Gitchi Gummi, birthplace of Charles Lindbergh, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Bob Dylan and the Mayo brothers,...and home to the dumbest-ass voters in the republic.
Sorry to say, Romney/Ryan doesn’t have a prayer here.
Put another way; do you think any other state would nominate, let alone elect, Bobby “the Brain “ Heenan (or his equivalent) to public office?

I live in the Twin Cities and I have not seen one Obama sign here either — nor have I seen a Romney sign. Markedly different from previous elections. MN has not voted GOP in the presidential election since 1972, so I expect Obama to win here, but I do find it interesting that he’s running tv ads here — and more than a few at that.

These are not SuperPac ads either, they are from the campaign. I can’t figure out why they would be advertising here. One of two possibilities — they are targeting the Western Wisconsin market(but that’s a rather expensive way to do it), or they have internal polling showing that there is at least a possibility of losing this state.
