Minnesota Gubentorial Race

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Mark Dayton would win in a walk, Coleman clearly damaged himself by drawing out the election process in Minnesota.  Minnesota is clearly a secular state now and with that the next governor will be a Democrat.

According to this poll Dems lead Coleman

Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak led 43-37 and former Senator Mark Dayton led 41-39

The Democratic trend of Minnesota during the Mondale/Cater years to the Kerry Gore years was interrupted by the Ross Perot/Jesse Ventura movement and likewise Proenvironment republicans like Pawlenty and Coleman were elected. I think now with the Obama administration he turned Minnesota from purple to secular and now we have a better chance today to elect a Democrat.
