Minnesota Voters are Weird

Do not draw conclusions from the national election results this year and apply them to Minnesota. Bush got close in Minnesota this year, but no closer than he got against Al Gore. At the same time an overwhelming Republican majority in the Minnesota House was reduced to a razor thin majority.

Minnesota voters seem to be the most persuadable and unpredictable in the country. Sometimes we like hardcore conservatives (Boschwitz, Grams). Sometimes we like hardcore liberals (Wellstone, Dayton). Sometimes we like goofy independents (Ventura). I'm not going to try to make any sense out of it.
