She has 92 percent of DFLers, 85 percent of liberals -- plus 27 percent of conservatives. Well-known as Hennepin County attorney, Klobuchar leads widely in Hennepin and Ramsey counties but also has a 14-point lead in the surrounding metro counties and has strengthened her lead in outstate Minnesota, where she now has 52 percent to Kennedy's 35 percent. Klobuchar also appears to be drawing off more than a quarter of those who say they would vote to reelect Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty.>> November 7th should be interesting!!

That's his highest rating in a year. The poll also showed likely voters evenly divided between Democratic and Republican candidates for Congress, 48%-48%. <<

Not the chances of Democrats gaining control of Congress. Not talking about how popular Bush was. I was stating that Minnesota's open Senate seat would likely remain in Democratic hands. But Darkbeer still saw it as an opportunity to post one of his typical anti-democrat opinion-less pieces. If he’s going to copy/paste posts, he should at least keep them relevant to the topic.

If you want, I can link to it again. This time you might even read it.

I not only read it but I took each point and tore it apart, which was pretty easy. Anyone who votes for a democrat in todays world is a fool. They have zero plan to win the war on terror, they will kill the economy with their tax increases, and they are determined to make Christians the villians in this country as they protect Muslim terrorists. Oh they also want open borders and they like France.

Things change with people and this is not saying I'm voting democrat in any future elections here either. But I'm not crazy about the republican ticket here either. In fact our race for governor really is the lesser of two evils. Governor I'll more than likely vote republican but it really won't be a vote I'm crazy about.
