"Why would Minnesotans send a Republican to Washington?"
Because MN isn't as liberal as it used to be.
Um...6 of 8 of our US congresspersons are democrats, we have a democratic majority in the state house, and a supermajority in the senate. Furthermore, all of our elected constitutional officers are democrats.
5/8. You're right. One open seat, likely to be filled by Democrat Ash Madia.
The rest of my facts were correct, and I didn't mention the governor's seat...you put that "fact" in the wrong post.
Minnesota is not 50-50...not as one sided as it used to be, but still on the blue side. And even in the blue years Minnesotans have had a history of electing moderate independent minded Republicans (of which Coleman isn't one).
It is the ONLY state in the union to vote for the Democratic candidate for President every year since 1976...
the only state to buck the Reagan landslides...
What part of supermajority don't you understand?
This is NOT a 50/50 state.
ALL of our constitutional officers are democrats.
We have a SUPERMAJORITY in the state senate.
We have a CLEAR MAJORITY in the house.
The only thing "50/50" about our state is the senate caucus. That is about to change...and Amy's not up for election.
Jesus, you're big on prognostication. Were you saying that clinton would win because she had "more votes" for the last half of the primary season too?
I love it when a season is so pitiful for republicans that they don't even bother to get out and work for their candidates, but rather spend all their time trolling liberal(ish) blogs.
