That is correct. Mostly from western Minnesota, though. Being afraid of the big city is a real thing in areas that are a long ways from the Twin Cities.- Row the damn boat
Joel Maturi (Minnesota AD in the early 2000s) also loved booking the Dakota schools. Between us, I think we bankrolled the transitions of all the Dakota schools to 1-AA. Like you, I don't ever want to see any of the Dakota schools on our schedule ever again. I remember the first game vs.. NDSU in 2006 at the Humpty Dump. There was so much green and gold that it felt like Lambeau Field. As for the game last night, it lacked any aesthetic niceties, but a win is a win.- 2020 Senate Elections
Does anyone gather any idea what the Democrat bench in Georgia looks like? Sure the pressure play looks good but they need good candidates other than Abrams.- 2020 Senate Elections
Former right-wing talk radio shock jock Jason Lewis officially declared his candidacy for the Republican nomination to take on Tina Smith in 2020. This is Al Franken's old seat. In other news, Tina Smith was instantly heavily favored to win a full term.- 2020 Democratic Nominee
MN ain't Beto country. That probably represents the donors that are keeping Klobuchar's campaign going.- The Italy Thread
Subscribing. So the Mrs. and I will be in Italy for two weeks over Christmas this upcoming winter. Our plan is Christmas in Rome, and a couple days in Venice sometime in the, but otherwise we're fairly open to suggestions.- 2020 Senate Elections
Doug Jones needs Roy Moore on the ballot to keep Bama from being an auto-loss. It's really hard to knock out an incumbent from the Senate, but the incumbent hasn't held onto Tillis' seat in North Carolina since Jesse Helms' last reelection in 1996. Since then, it's flipped every time it has come up (02, 08, and 14). Of the four dogfights you mentioned, the likelihood of flipping probably goes NC, IA, a large gap, GA, TX, and the rest. NC for the reasons I mentioned above. If the Senate is tied to the White House, Trump is under water by double digits in Iowa and Ernst hasn't done a thing to separate herself from him. There are also two more seasons of farmers getting trounced between now and then. The large gap is there because Texas and Georgia are lottery tickets, along with the insurrection campaigns against Moscow Mitch and Leningrad Lindsey. However, if either of those two are sweating out a photo finish, the GOP has already lost control of the chamber and is having a bad night across the board. The race where the presidential hopeful needs to get out and get into the Senate race isn't Colorado, it's Montana. Steve Bullock could single-handedly move this one from lost-cause to lottery ticket.- 2019 MLB thread
Twinkies are doing a brilliant job of proving that you can't play baseball with both hands wrapped firmly around your neck...- Brexit shenanigans
Tories lost a Commons seat yesterday in a special election in Wales. Boris' working majority is now at one. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-49204174- The sketchiest/dumpiest bar you've ever been to.
The only time I've ever felt like I was going to get shot was in some rat hole on the east side of Columbus, Ohio that I don't remember the name of. Turns out the joint was very close to the nightclub where Dime Bag Darrell was shot on stage, so there you go.- Drunken Texas superintendent headbotts another super
No-contest. Fight didn't go four rounds.- US Supreme Court overturns federal ban on sports betting
Good. Sports wagering will only be an hour and a half away now. This will be going nowhere anytime soon in Minnesota. The tribes that gave casinos want it exclusively, but an expansion of gaming requires renegotiating their compacts. Since the status quo is quite profitable for them, it makes no sense for them to change.- 2020 Democratic Nominee
Add Douglas County in the far northwest to the blue column, and that's pretty accurate. There's a blatant MAGA believer who owns a farm on I-94 right over the border by Hudson that isn't afraid to tell all passersby that he's all in on Trump. The GOP really gerrymandered their Legislature after their 2010 sweep, such that a statewide Dem majority vote yielded the GOP 64 of 100 seats in the Assembly.- The Robert Mueller Investigation

From what I've seen, I'm not too worried about Colorado. Sure Hickenlooper has the name recognition, but the Democrat bench seems to be solid enough that a quality candidate will face Gardner. Not sure if PredictIt has put up contracts yet on the Senate, but McGrath seems like a good one to take a flier on at 10 to 15 cents. But everything in Kentucky depends on their governor's race in the fall. If the incumbent comes back, forget it. As for the others, remember that there's a long way to go and the presidential field is going to shrink considerably by Halloween. So there is hope yet in Montana.- 2019 Women's World Cup - Do It Back to Back
