1. What in the hell is wrong with Minnesota? It used to be an extremely blue state

Colemen getting 49% approval is a disgrace

I am getting pretty much convienced we deserve exactly what we get

Forclosures, bankrupcies, jobs off-shored, endless war, 50 million uninsured, a woman's right to choose

After 8 years of lies and treachery, and people are still as dumb as they were in 2000

I will vote straight Democrat in 2008, and do what I can to get out the vote, but if the same republican crap that got us into this mess is elected again, I give up

Do you have a link, or can you tell me who did the poll? It sure doesn't correlate with everything else I have been hearing concerning our races in the Senate

5. more news

McConnel in Kentucky's approval/disapproval rating in July was 51-40, so 49-45 last week looks better for us.

Norm Coleman in Minnesota's approval/disapproval rating fluctuates a little. July had it at 43-48, so Norm the two-face is definitely vulnerable.

Gordon Smith in Oregon consitently polls around 48-42, so there is hope but some work to be done.
