1. Minnesota was unimpressed with our former football star.

Take note, Georgia.

2. THAT makes me happy....

Tim has been a dear friend since 2005 when he announced his run for Congress.

Now the rest of the DFL ticket need to win. I have faith for not all the votes are in.

3. So happy!

What about the other statewide races?

[TheRealNorth]

4. I expect Steve Simon to be called the winner for Sec. of State

Keith Ellison (AG) is closer, but I think he is looking good.

6. Those are very important.

I hope you’re right.

5. Kistner is ahead of Craig.

7. It was pointed out to me on another thread that Dakota County hasn't reported yet

I'm hoping that's a good thing.

[iemanja]

8. Is it?

I guess we’ll find out soon.

9. CNN shows no votes from Dakota Co

And Dakota is the 3rd most populous county in the State and I suspect is somewhere between 1/2 to 2/3 of the Pop. in MN-02.

And it went for Biden 56-42 in 2020 (+37,000 votes). I expect Craig will net at least 20,000 from Dakota Co.

10. Okay, thx for that

I didn’t realize it went for Biden.

[TheRealNorth]

11. Given how the rest of the election is going....

I am pretty optimistic at this point, even with the Star Tribune and the South Lake Minnetonka Police running interference for Kistner.

[iemanja]

12. What did the police do?

13. Tyler Kistner crashed his car this summer and they didn't do a breathalyzer test

14. Figures

That would have done him in too. Did Craig talk about it in her campaign?

[dflprincess]

15. I don't know if she did

But I had not heard anything about this (of course, there's a lot I don't hear about) until Matt MacNeil started talking about it on his show the last few days.

16. 85% of Dakota Co is now in

Angie Craig is now up by 5% (about 15,000 votes). 91% in.
