Well, the Minnesota memorial gave us the religious Left: they don’t believe in God,
they believe in politics; the Democratic party is their church, Wellstone their latest
martyr, and the campaign a crusade. They couldn’t have been any freakier if they’d
been speaking in tongues.

LOL!!! That last line is a beaut.

I also was "as wrong as Steyn".
And I was sort of with the Republicans that wanted "equal time" after the
Wellstone send-off/political rally.

In retrospect, the RNC should have PURCHASED airtime to re-air the spectacle a couple of times.

Having been in Minnesota a few times, my naive guess is that the reason Mondale lost
is that some voters simply said "if I vote for Mondale, the rest of the country will
will think we really are as nutty as what they saw on TV last Tuesday night".

You must have been in the stupid part of Minnesota LOL!

We haven't elected a dem to the Governor's office since 1986. And Tuesday night we elected a new Republican Govenor. We defeated a relic known as Walter Mondale, and in our state legislature, well..read on:

"High tide for Republicans in Legislature

The Republican wave that swept across the nation Tuesday also drenched the Minnesota Legislature, increasing GOP numbers in the House and Senate to their highest levels in 30 years.

Republicans will have 82 members in the 134-seat House, increasing their majority by 11 since the end of the 2002 legislative session. And they will hold 31 seats in the Senate, just three short of controlling the 67-member body, something they have never done since legislators began running with party labels in 1972."

There are a lot of good conservative Minnesotan's that are absolutely thrilled with the outcome of the 2002 elections.

People in MN were greatly pissed at the 'Rally at Nuremberg' qua memorial service. They boo-ed the governor. They made Terry Ventura cry. Bill Clinton was laughing, backslapping and high-fiving with Walter Mondale.
