Anyway, onto the big show for today! MN!

I am queasy about this one. This was completely unnecessary, Walz should have picked somebody from a solid blue seat in the twin cities or somewhere else. Why pick somebody from this kind of a district? Why risk it? Surely there are qualified people from solid blue areas in the twin cities, duluth proper, rochester proper, moorehead proper, etc. all around the state.

Hopefully, the GOP really geared up for this race and is taking it very seriously. They got a really good candidate. This was one of the very few areas that the GOP picked up in the US House in the entire nation in 2018. Granted, the incumbent left, but so did the incumbent here too. This is ripe flipping ground.
