    Re: The States: Why does Minnesota wanna be Kansas?

    Chris Collins suspends his reelection campaign, likely because voting from a prison cell would be difficult.

          There's a 14 year old on the Democratic ballot for Governor in Vermont and a 16 year old running for State Senate. There's no age requirement in the state constitution, only a residency requirement.

              The precedent was set when they let a seventh-grader in the WH.

                  I'm not sure. I think it's possible but it's a toss up as far as I can tell.

                    It's Pawlenty's race so far. Everything still looks to be within the MOE.

                      Yeah. To put it into more context, Johnson has raised about $300K...Pawlenty is over $2M.

                        Well, if it's that runaway Republican voters are sure interesting. Why anyone would want to go back to that clown I have no clue.

                          Name recognition. And I know GOPers who still remember him fondly, either because of his personality or they want X budget item to be privately financed.

                            Here's an overview of the 'Minneapolis+' 5th Congressional district DFL candidates - replacing Keith Ellison. I didn't know anything about them...but am posting this before I head over to vote:

                            Margaret Anderson Kelliher

                            Former House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher is the biggest name in the race. The Mankato native spent 12 years in the state legislature, and currently heads the Minnesota High Tech Association. In 2008, she pushed through the transportation funding bill over Governor Pawlenty's veto, by enlisting the help of six suburban Republican members. Two years later, Kelliher won the DFL party's endorsement for governor, but eventually lost the nomination to Mark Dayton in the primary.

                            Rep. Ilhan Omar

                            Rep. Ilhan Omar of southeast Minneapolis has captured national attention since 2016, when she unseated 44-year incumbent Phyllis Kahn to become the first Somali refugee elected to any state legislature. Omar arrived in the United States at age 12, and worked in a variety of private and public sector jobs before running for office. She asserts her story uniquely positions her to take on the rhetoric and policies emanating from the Trump White House.

                            Sen. Patricia Torres Ray

                            Sen. Patricia Torres Ray is a native of Colombia who worked as a Guardian ad litem, a state ombudsperson for families and a child services administrator for the Minn. Dept. of Human Services before entering politics. She has spent the past 12 years in the Minnesota Senate, representing southeast Minneapolis.

                            Jamal Abdulahi

                            Jamal Abdulahi has played a key role as a political organizer in the Somali community. But as an electrical engineer by profession, he worked on fighter jet computer systems for defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin. That's why he felt especially wronged when then-candidate Donald Trump appeared to demonize Somali immigrants in his only campaign rally in Minnesota in 2016.

                            All four Democrats in the race support abolishing ICE and replacing it with another agency. They also back universal background checks for firearms, and would take part in attempts to impeach President Trump. They also envision widening access to health care by moving away from the current private insurance model.

                            Frank Drake

                            None of those ideas sound good to Frank Drake, an Edina real estate agent who's in the DFL primary this year, after running as a Republican in 2016.
                            "I'm going to be the first inner city congressman that will allow -- that will work with this president, you don't have to like him but you can just be neutral with the federal government," he said. Drake believes the United States should stop sending troops to conflicts in the Middle East, and he's not a big fan of President Trump's proposed border wall with Mexico. But he said Minnesota could benefit from it.

                            Disclaimer: I'm not voting for Drake.

                                Also, I'm voting for K Ellison. Now if he's guilty, I would certainly come out hard against him...but 3 things:

                                1) All this came up the week before the primary. Why?
                                2) Supposedly there's all this audio and video evidence. Why isn't it out there?
                                3) If there's one candidate the GOP doesn't like and somewhere they don't want them...its Keith Ellison as the AG of a liberal state. The GOP has committed all sorts of underhanded schemes. I'm not quite sure whether I can trust Ellison...but I absolutely do not trust the GOP.
