Merriam-Webster's Collegiate says you're right. Debate ended.

[BainsBane]

14. Sure, I suppose

It was a long time ago. Of course the 1984 Democratic Presidential candidate, Walter Mondale, was from Minnesota, so that was a big part of why he won this state. It was the only state in won.

24. They never vote Democrat!

The (D) party in MN is officially the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) party. The repukes used to be the "Independent Republicans" (IR), but that went away years ago.

16. Kellie Pickler in an interview on American Idol called it 'sal-mon'.

It was her first time eating salmon, she said she loved it. Her odd pronunciation 'sal-mon ' only added to her innocent charm for me. I am glad she went on to do well in the music industry and is doing well in life too.
