MN-03: Ramstead Retiring

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Kind of surprising, but AWESOME!

Here's to hoping the GOP nominates a real far right winger. This isn't MN-06 and Michele Bachmann won't play here.

Should be a Republican hold unless they pick an awful candidate.

Picking an awful candidate is the type of thing the MN GOP has a pretty big habit of doing lately though.

There are quite a few DFL state legislators in the district who'd make good candidates, most fairly moderate. The GOP has some good candidates and some wingnuts.

As the StarTrib pointed out today, there are more DFL state legislators in the district than Republican ones.

Better chance at MN-03 than IL-14, that's for sure.

MN-03 right now is contingent on candidate recruitment.  If the Democrats nominate someone too close to the middle, they'll lose support to an Indy candidate.

No, like I said, that shouldn't be a problem, Ralph Nader forever doomed that.
