Dey Fracture Loudly, Part II - Doug Grow's column in today's Strib captures some of the dismay and anger among DFL feminists over the endorsement of Roger Moe.
And late word has it that ultra-left former candidate Becky Lourey will neither run for her Senate seat again, nor run as a Green - which, combined with the redistricting and (I suggest) Minnesota's swing to the right, means a solid potential for a two-house GOP majority (let's assume Ventura remains at the executive offices in Maple Grove and Hollywood for a while.
In the meantime, Judy Dutcher apparently is not considering running for any other offices (despite some calls that she run in the Third CD against my fellow Jamestown, ND native Jim Ramstad).
My fearless prediction - the GOP will endorse a woman for governor before the DFL does. And she'll be endorsed for her qualifications - not because she's not a man.
