    Wait. If you have zero shot at Gov what makes you think you can win a statewide race like Senator?

      I wondered the same thing. Given the makeup of the House and Senate in Minnesota basically and DFLer running statewide needs huge turnout in the cities to win. That appears to be what Handy is banking on. Hillary barely pulled it off but everyone hates her so if you're liked it's supposed to work.

        It certainly used to be that there were resumes for the executive (DA, Lt Gov, business leader, general) and resumes for the legislative (state house member, policy adviser, issue activist), but that has eroded over time. And of course post-Dump there's no longer a thing called "qualified."

            It's a deep primary. I think any of Tim Walz, Chris Coleman, Lori Swanson, or Rebecca Otto(listed is descending confidence) would win the governorship if they won the primary, but the last two are probably long shots to win the primary.

              Resume? No, not after Trump.

                That was weird, though -- a three-way.

                TBH I don't get Minnesota. My impression had been that it was Vermont Only the Girls Are Pretty*, but then a lot of stupid (Coleman) came out of there.

                * I mean, seriously. This is a randomly selected MN HS soccer team:

                  That's a pretty average high school team around here.

                                Just sayin', that team isn't the exception. Most of those girls look like they fit in right with my niece's soccer team.
