6. I suspect they made a mistake targeting Minneapolis

If you remember, part of why Walz was chosen is that they would have a harder time othering a school teacher/national guard/ native of Minnesota.

Also from a sister who lived in that neighborhood when working on a masters back in the late 1970s, they have long been a close, engaged community.

I also wonder if the Scandinavian roots there are part of why their culture values community rather than rugged individualism.
