Minnesota big in 2006!

Once again Minnesota will be a focus in the 2006 election. With a huge governors race and a battle ground for congress seats.

Minnesota did not matter much in the political spot light tell about 1996 or so now we are always one of the states that could change the face of the national election. This ten year spotlight on Minnesota has been good for our state and all "smaller" states in general.

Even the Minnesota chairs of the republican and democrat party agree on one thing this year. That is Minnesota is in for a high spirited and intense race. It may also cost the a lot of money for the canidates running so fundraising will be a huge part of be able to stay a float in the races.


Why has Minnesota became such a focus. It seems at if we have a good balance of democrats and republicans( not is Duluth we are heavily democrat) but at least the rest of the state equals us out. We also have a huge population of independents voters that both sides will focus on.

The only predictions I will make are the ones many people are at this point. I believe Tim Pawlenty wins a second term as Governor and Oberstar gets another term as congressman as he is unoppesed.
