The Minnesota Senate race is an annoyance.

David Freddoso lays it out: Barack Obama has a 36% – thirty-six – approval rating and Al Franken’s own personal numbers are 46/42.  That’s the kind of combination that screams ‘vulnerable incumbent’ – but we just need a candidate.  And there’s still no clear sign of one in the wings.

I know, there are candidates.  But we need one of them to start shining. Today. And then we need the other candidates to get out of the way.

Sorry. Venting.

      I remember George Ryan, as the GOP was swept out of power back in ’02 (was it?) blaming conservatives for all of his woes. As if there were any in positions of power and were somehow responsible. He went to jail a few years later…

      1. I live in California. If that initiative to break up California actually manages to get on the ballot, I’m voting for it …

        Yes, that would make live TV nigh on unwatchable every four years in fall, as South California would be a new large-ish swing state. But if it means not letting LA or SF have any say in what we’re doing in San Diego anymore, I’m all for it …

        1. Do the people of California deserve greater representation in the Senate and the Electoral College?

          1. The people of San Diego and farm country and real NorCal (the Bay Area actually being in the middle of the state) deserve some representation …
