Tonight was caucus night here in Minnesota, and the precincts I caucus with had a fairly large turnout with 17 people in attendance. This should not be construed as a barometer as to how things will shape up throughout Minnesota (although one can hope!), however here are the results ...

Today was the Tax Cut Coalition Rally at the Minnesota State Capitol, and I am very glad I headed up early as there was a competing event on the Capital Mall sponsored by the Sierra Club. When I arrived, there were already about a hundred people at the State ...

If you are a Christian running for office in Minnesota as a Republican, watch out! The religious bigots in the DFL and their lap-dog supporters in the media, are out to roast you.

The Star Tribune (Free Registration required) has endorsed Patrick Garofalo of Farmington for the House 36B seat. This is a major shock as Pat is a Republican.
