We lost my dad Jim Klobuchar today at age 93. He loved our state. He loved journalism. He loved sports and adventure. And we loved him.

(20,760 posts)I can't even count how many people I know who read his sports columns FIRST.
And when he established his own recovery, he helped many, many more through that doorway.
A life well lived, indeed.
Go gently, Jim... and say howdy to the old newsroom gang for us!
sadly,

(16,407 posts)I can't say she was my pick in the 2020 primary, because I didn't really have *a* pick. (I honestly could NOT DECIDE.*) But she was one of my favorites. My respect for her has only grown since then. She has a forthrightness that I really love.
*I ended up voting for Biden in the primary. My state's primary came after his candidacy was a foregone conclusion, and a vote for him felt like a vote for Democratic solidarity at that point. I think I was right about that. 😁
