Looks like you guys have tons of ammo to use one this Guy. You came close on the last race,looks like this could be a first for the DFL.

but I will say I think her mistake is she did nothing to attract left leaning independents.

non partisan Registration. Sorry. Understand the Left leaning independents. Wow,thanks for the update on that. Was working on our own NV 4th election. And we went after every single vote we could find and we had 39% of our Registered Dems stay home thinking we had in the bag. Lucky for us we did.

all they did was run against Trump and try to tie their opponents to him rather than telling the voters what they would do. (At least in their mass media ads and, let's be honest, that's where most voters get their information.)

Walz & Nolan did not make this mistake.

Come to think of it, all of them, including both senators, only respond with a form letter that more or less fits the subject.

The only response to the topic that I ever got here was an email from Wellstone and this was before I was even a constituent. I was just familiar with a certain topic.

Was really looking forward to vote for him
