I think most of the second-ringers will steer slightly away from him in 2020, and there simply aren't enough rural people for him to win the state. It'll be a close race, but Tina Smith (appointed replacement for Stuart Smalley) should win.
    Not only that, but he would have to overcome massive city majorities from the inner part of the twin cities, as well as Duluth and Rochester. Winning a state wide race isn’t the same as a house race in a deeply red district.

    I’m not saying this for your sake, obviously.

      Him running is the best news possible for the DFL cause he will chances are win the primary and will get people out to vote against him in the general. Any chance the GOP had of getting a for hold here diminished greatly.

          So, not repeatable?

          Do the IA Dems have anybody with a shot at Ernst? Seems like the state was fairly reasonable up until a decade ago. Has it really become North Kansas? Did IQs drop suddenly?

            I wouldn't say it's likely, but Ernst is campaigning as though she's at least a little nervous. Greenfield is probably the early leader for the Dem nomination; her campaign manager screwed her 2 years ago for the congressional seat covering Des Moines by falsifying signatures on her nominating petition. Most of the state party has lined up behind her against Ernst.

              This is my favorite headline about his campaign:

              “He's predicted race wars, likened gay marriage to rape, and longed for the days he could call women “sluts” again. Now former Rep. Jason Lewis would like to be your new U.S. senator.”

                That's great. Where's it from?

                To be fair, it is just the stock Republican platform.

                  I love this part:
                  When we last left our hero, the former congressman was unceremoniously dumped after one term representing the St. Paul suburbs and beyond. Karma had arrived at his door. Lewis was ousted convincingly by a lesbian mother of four, Angie Craig.

                    Hopefully the righty diaper rash tantrum is dying down. In 2016 that message could have won just to "pwn the libs."

                        If we re-elected the Stache, I don't see why we couldn't re elect Vilsack.

                        Having said that, good God do we need fresh blood. That is Tom Miller's political cardinal sin. He's been AG forever, is so popular that the GOP no longer even puts up token sacrificial lambs, is nominally the leader of the state party as its highest ranking statewide official, but has never used his coattails to carry anyone else into office

                          Wasn't this guy supposed to be a "rising star"? Why is it every GOP "rising star" that the media annoints ends up flaming out?

                            It's "flaming out" to stay home to help with a newborn child that's expected to have heart issue? You have a strange priority list, Rover.

                            Also, the only reason he was a rising star for the GOP is because he was a lumberjack tournament winner for tree climbing.
