Title: Re: MN: Public Policy Polling: Franken popular, R's face uphill battle in MN Post by: NVGonzalez on May 21, 2013, 11:47:42 PM I feel pessimistic about taking down the crazy woman of MN. With that said I will be cheering for it.

With that said I will be cheering for it. Bachmann is a Representative.

Title: Re: MN: Public Policy Polling: Franken popular, R's face uphill battle in MN Post by: Miles on June 22, 2013, 11:41:28 AM We already knew this, but I ran across this article (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/22/al-franken-2014-election_n_3482952.html) saying that MN is off the table for Republicans:
Quote ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Al Franken barely made it into the Senate the first time, squeaking by with 312 votes after months of recounts and legal skirmishes that left Minnesota Republicans salivating at the prospect of snatching the seat back from the former "Saturday Night Live" star in 2014. So far, that's not playing out according to plan. Four years into his term, Franken barely figures into the GOP's calculations for trying to wrest control of the Senate from Democrats. Republicans don't consider him a top target for defeat, and they haven't found a strong challenger in the Democratic-leaning state. |
