Some Words

Congrats to Kirk Johnson he just wrote the first New York Times article I can remember, which talks about Minnesota, but doesn’t seem on the verge of calling Midwesterners plebeians. Still, while Wellstone was clearly the most liberal of the three, it might have made more sense to mention Dayton, or his successor Klobuchar. Mr. Wellstone, while magnificent, has been dead since 2002. I wish he were still on the stage of Minnesota politics, but he’s not the best example of Minnesota post 9/11. I also might have mentioned that Pawlenty didn’t so much win reelection, as Hatch lost election, but that’s quibbling.
