I'd call it a democratic battleground state and if not a toss up.

Obama won it by ten points and it has voted Republican for President once since 1956.  Don't get your hopes up.
And? The margins were close in 2000 and 2004 and the state has been trending GOP on the national level.

Massachusetts is "trending" Republican if recent elections are any indication.  Unless the demographics of Minnesota are changing in some way to noticeably alter the make-up of the electorate, I'm not sure what argument you would have that Minnesota is suddenly going to go GOP at the national level.

And? Do you think the electoral map will remain static forever?

Did you forget that Minnesota and Massachusetts both were once Republican strongholds?
