Mondale energized DFL voters with his nasty class warfare nonsense. Hopefully Coleman's sheer decency will win over the people at large. In general, as David Horowitz says, such defensive debate performances usually don't beat Dems.
Mondale energized DFL voters with his nasty class warfare nonsense.
Not that I've seen. They've been sounding awfully desperate. They know they are going to lose a lot to the Greens. (Greens won the Mayor's office and two City Council seats in Minneapolis, last year - and they aren't going to like Mondale).
That Mondale felt that he had to try to solidify his support with his base, while Coleman was reaching for the swing vote, is a clear indication that the DFL thinks they are going to lose.
