I am seriously trying to figure out what some people in this party process actually want. It is difficult to interpret. Some want to trash everything about the Democratic Party. Trash the DCCC. Trash the caucus process. Trash the endorsement process. Trash leadership. Trash the State Party. Trash the conventions. Trash how we even […]
Overall, Minnesota will have at least 4 very competitive races in 2018. It is very possible that District 2 and 3 could switch to Democratic – while 1 and 8 could switch to Republican. The national mood will certainly play a factor. Brace yourselves – it will be a bumpy ride.

This happened with the individual […]

by Dave Mindeman I was driving south bound on I-35 through Lakeville and I passed the new Gander Outdoors store (formerly Gander Mountain) and there in all its glory was the largest flag I had ever seen. It was very windy so Old Glory was completely unfurled and waving like those amber waves of grain. […]
Doggone it. I promised myself that I wasn’t going to get into this CD2 endorsement thing again, but some things are just too crazy to ignore. Jeff Erdmann has been losing out on nearly every major endorsement via the labor councils, women’s groups, etc. But he comes out this week with an endorsement from the […]
