Sep 2018

I live in MN-1, currently held by Tim Walz, who is retiring to run for Governor. He hung on by the skin of his teeth after the last election, and the Repukes smell blood.

The bad news: Dems could lose at least 2 districts (1 and 8), a Senate seat (Tina Smith in a special election to a "hockey mom" wife of a well known hockey legend) and Walz (for Governor) is being painted as Pelosi-esque. Keith Ellison's problems are well known. Outside of the Twin Cities core and the Iron Range, Minnesota has gotten redder. (even in the Arrowhead region, where new mining jobs are taking precedence over the environment)

The good news: Klobuchar, and Trump keeps being himself and it is turning off nearly everyone short of die-hard Republicans. Democrats can't buy that sort of negative publicity!
