  •  Good answer! (none / 0)

    Your one senator is one of the best. I just wrote an e-mail to a friend in Wisconsin, saying, "You are going to vote for Russ Feingold this time, aren't you?" She voted for the Republican six years ago, and she voted for Bush in 2000. (She felt torn both times.) This year she's voting for Feingold and Kerry.

    I was so proud to have Paul Wellstone as my senator. Now the turncoat Norm Coleman has his seat. So I only have one senator and that's Mark Dayton.

    My rep is Betty McCollum, a Democrat. She's fine.

    I don't have a governor, but that's another story.

    I hate what has happened to Minnesota politics. I've said before: I want my country back, and I want my state back.

    In the presidential race I do think Minnesota is a pretty bluish shade of purple.

      Mark Dayton and Creepy Coleman -- it gives me physical pain to have him instead of Paul W.  Dayton is definitely one of the good guys, has a semi-stutter which makes his speeches difficult, but he says and does the right things. My rep is Jim Oberstar, old-fashioned HHH-dem, no razzle-dazzle but usually comes through when it counts (f'rinstance Oct 2002, both my senators [at the time] and my rep voted against the Iraq resolution).

      My "Embarassingly Liberal" t-shirt (Wellstone's '96 campaign) is in the wash right now, getting things ready for the Dubya protest rally tomorrow afternoon :)
