    a progressive ticket with one of the post popular governors in the country who was able to be a governor because he was relatable and popular enough with rural republican minnesotans

      It makes sense. He was big on in person campaigning. I’ve shook his hand and chatted with him, my dad had lunch with him a while back.

      Hes a no-nonsense guy. He’s from Nebraska, retired Command Sergeant Major, taught in a small town, and listening to him reminds me of my grandfather who was a very popular educator and farmer in the midwest. It’s hard not to like him.

        not likely; but if walz does win, peggy flanagan would take over and probably have a big boost going into a full term.
