I agree with all of the above. Being born and raised in this blue state, I know personally how difficult it can be for even moderate conservatives to get elected. The whole state was shocked when Chip Craavack won Jim Oberstar’s old seat. I wish him the best, but fear he may be booted out come 2012. As far as the governor’s race goes, I am surprised the race was even this close. Most polls had Dayton up anywhere from 4 to 12 points before the election. I hope, for Pawlenty’s sake, things get worked out in a civil manner.

Since Al Franken stole the Senate seat the integrity of the vote in MN will always be questioned unless reforms are made. Ballot boxes found in the trunks of peoples cars are an outrage and should not be tolerated. Here in NH ballot boxes in route to the NH Sec of States office travel with a State Police escort.

I heard Mark Ritchie was re elected. That is pretty sad.

What are you guys so scared of? Why not let the recount go forward? I don’t think its the Republican Party that has anything to worry about. However, we now know about the lining up mentally challenged people in Crow Wing Country and social workers “helping” them vote. We know about the indoctrinated U of M students vouching for people they don’t know. We are starting to get a picture of the slimy, sleazeball tactics your side uses.
Let’s count the votes and examine the evidence thoroughly and find out what Secretary of Fraud Ritchie’s been up to these past four years. Let’s see how democratic the Democratic Party really isn’t.
