Remember the last time they were counting votes one at a time by the end of the recount.

Alas, we tried to "ratfuck" and it just didn't work.
Keith of course won as well.

(28,082 posts)And Governor Dayton (who also went to a recount 4 years ago) was also reelected.
Now, if the DFL can just hang on to the State House of Reps -- fortunately the State Senate was not up this year so it remains in DFL hands.

(42,770 posts)not too quick on his feet (saw his debate). Guess he got by with that since his opponent was such an asshole ?

(86,802 posts)I get his emails but since I can't vote for him - I live in a different state - I don't send him $$.
I did call his office once to ask him to vote against a rider one of my Senators had planted in a Budget Bill. Since then I get campaign letters.
I'm glad he won though, he's smart and has the right idea about what his job actually is. Wish he were in my red state so I could vote for him.

(24,330 posts)For six years he kept his mouth shut and worked his ass off to do what his constituents sent him to Washington to do. What a novel idea. Nice going, Al. I still think this man could be president one day.

Bad news is MN6 Michelle Bachmans seat goes to another whacko nut job, Tom Emmer (R).
MN8 with the little lord flaunteroy/"brad pitt" Stewart Mills (R) is neck in neck with Nolan (D)
