We had exactly 60 seats for all of like two effective weeks in 2009, due to various issues. And not only that, a good portion of the dems in that coalition were blue dogs - senators from IA, ND, IN, and MO.
People acting like we’ve had 30+ Bernies in the caucus are weird.

Grown-up love means actually understanding what you love, taking the good with the bad and helping your loved one grow.” – Al Franken

Rolling Stone has covered politics for 50 years. They’re not just some music magazine.


Dude’s done great work here in MN. Most all of the upper-level state positions are all DFLers, thanks in part to him.


None of the left-leaning pollsters I heard ever thought that these seats would flip. They were more interested in the margins.
And 30% to 15% is quite significant.


It’s always darkest before the light goes completely out.
This is factual.


Ken’s done great work here in MN. We’re an island of blue in a sea of red.


He looks like gout that got gout.
Maybe he’s busy writing a new book about it? /s
