In reply to Matthew Rigdon. Good point. But, remember Clinton actually WON the election, and she also won in Minnesota. Minnesotans like plans. But I've got to say, Rebecca has kind of ruined things for me. I look at not only other candidates for Governor, but also, other races, and I see very little actual development of policy, and just as bad, I see very little change over time in individual candidate's statements about policy as I see them speaking to groups weeks apart.

Not a knock on her (she sounds like a great candidate), but as to the candidate who said they didn’t have plans: in fairness, we just came out of a presidential election where everyone dinged Hillary for having too many plans. I sincerely hope that Minnesota isn’t as shallow as America as a whole (all politics is local), but I can understand why someone in that position might decide to downplay plans and experience in a Trumpian world.
Hopefully that candidate doesn’t go and have sex with a porn star or Rebecca Otto may be in real trouble 😛

In reply to L.Long. She's running for governor of Minnesota.

Your list of things makes her sound really good for the job, but without the bigotry and hate she wont stand a chance against the hate filled intolerance of the rePUKEian candidate, but it is a good dream, and I REALLY hope I’m wrong!!!
