    Of course, this is after the Norm decides to pull all negative ads after polls show Franken surging ahead of him. Norm was getting almost as negative as McLame-Painful.

    My dad warned that the GOP would eventually destroy itself by catering to the "Southern Strategy" base of crazy Jesus freaks, just to get their votes out. And eventually the majority of moderate Americans (a large number of us apparently) would see through their ineptitude as leaders. Karl Rove has spent his entire career getting people elected to an office for which they are not qualified. They've been sold to us like soda pop and disposable diapers through main stream media advertising system which is now on the verge of extinction due to the internet. They are in panic mode.

    November 4th = July 14th.

    "Purple state." That's the first time I've seen that usage but it makes sense. It also helps decode all the purple and lavender and violet color neckties showing up on the male newsbots. What a coincidence. My gravatar is a portion of the Hiawatha Belt, the indigenous ancestors made it purple because it's a pretty color. Or so I thought.

    since when is MN classified as purple. ? It's been blue for presidents since jimmy carter. no other state can say it's been blue that long. Yes there are republicans in MN, as with other states. Romney is from liberal Mass., Reagan and Arnold are/were from what large blue state? CA.

    AMAZING!!! I live in Minnesota, and I called the local secret service office Friday morning and expressed my concern about the Angry McGrumpypants/Betty Boop campaign inciting violence and promoting the lie that Obama was a terrorist. And lo and behold, the Old Guy actually told his audience that yes, perhaps maybe Obama at least deserved respect! He was then roundly booed for his comments. Well, there you go! Now The Old Guy is now completely trapped inside his own box. Brilliant. Thanks to Cowboyneok for his great suggestion, if it indeed made any difference.
