11. Yes. I'm pretty sure Betty will be fine.

What was added is pink to red, but not that many precincts, compared to the St. Paul part.

As for Bachmann, I'm not so sure. She lost that big pink to red area that includes Woodbury. She's neglected the dickens out of her district, and it may just be that the northern suburbs may turn on her this November. I'm hoping for that. It will all depend on how well-known and well-liked her DFL opponent is. I haven't heard any hints about who might run. But, remember, it doesn't have to be someone who lives in the district. Michele doesn't anymore, either.


My wife emailed Kelliher last night and suggested that she might want to think about the seat. Kelliher lives in Minneapolis, but not far from the district border, and has lots of name recognition. But, someone else may pop up who has the popularity and name recognition that would kick Bachmann's butt.

Time will tell, but I'm sure that several people are thinking about running.
