Minnesota- Why can't the GOP get the job done there?

[Famous Mortimer]

It's ridiculous to expect Republicans to be competitive at the presidential level because of the past success of Pawlenty and Coleman.

Pawlenty and Coleman only won because of the stupid Independence Party.

There's a lot of dopey Minnesota voters who think everyone's so gosh darn nice they can't decide who to vote for, so they end up throwing their vote away on the IP.

If there were just two parties on the ballot though, Democrats would win every statewide race no contest, except very rarely.

Minnesota is an solidly slightly blue state. If you get my meaning.
