Why the heck does MINN have a pug governor? |
|
I was thinking about how if Coleman won he might be thrown out of the senate or have to resign shortly thereafter over corruption charges.
But he would be replaced by Tim Pawlenty. Yuk.
Anyone have a link to the Franken/Coleman radio debate tonight?

good, progressive people there. i guess they're just too trusting and they get hoodwinked by the scummy repubs from time to time.

The Democratic candidate, Mike Hatch, blew it against Pawlenty and so Pawlenty eked out a win.

4. Sadly, Hatch sucked badly too. We got screwed in MN, plain and simple. |
|
Now we're on the verge if being screwed again. I just hope Al pulls this off.

5. It was a very close race |
|
It looked like Hatch was going to pull it off. Governor Fee-plenty was first elected in 2002 thanks to the fear factor. (Same year as Coleman)

10. There's always an Independent candidate and that always |
|
splits the vote. For some reason Indies get around 8-10% of the vote here. I don't understand it either.
