The State Quarter poll is finally done. Colorado, with the aid of coverage from their mainstream media, eked out a 40-odd vote win over Minnesota, whose campaign was supported only by bloggers.

Congrats, Colorado. We Minnesotans - with our Prince, the Replacements, Norm Coleman, Prairie Home Companion, the Twins and the biggest blog scene in the country - congratulate you on your Dan Fogelberg, your Ward Churchill, and your victory.

Saaaa-LUTE!

Colorado won something?

How many Cups, Super Bowls, Frozen Fours has the Al Franken, Mark Dayton, Lake Wobegon, Jerry Lundengarden, Jesse "The Speedo" Ventura, The Strib, LA Vikings, Northwest Airlines, state won in the past twenty years? Prince? Prince? Yeah he has talent but I wouldn't boast about him being from there unless you are a Chick. The Twins? My family up there says none of you Norm Son of a Gundersons go to the games you all go to Saint Paul games. The only reason you guys are so good with blogs is you have got to have something to do in a state were you ice fish what nine months out of the year? Cheer up Mitch, maybe you can catch Jose Feliciano at the Radisson tonight?

That would be two NCAA ice hockey championships (many more if you count the Gopher and UMD gals).

Stanley Cups won by teams stolen from Canada do not count in Colorado's favor, so you have zero. I do recall that the last time the two NHL teams from the respective states met in a playoff series, it was the 'Lanche who were sent packing.

Elder, you brought up that damn series. I was sitting here munching on my granola bar when I read your response. I spit the Coors I was drinking all over my monitor. I never heard the end of it from my cousin from up there about that damn series. I think it is a good thing whenever we can get those French Canadians bent out of shape. I won't be happy until we have the Leafs in Omaha.

"I do recall that the last time the two NHL teams from the respective states met in a playoff series...."

Hmm, was that the last series the Avalanche played against the Dallas North Stars or the last series that the New Jersey Rockies played against the Dallas North Stars. It can be so difficult to keep track. We can be sure it wasn't the last series that the 'Olves played against the New Jersey Rockies, because they've never been in the finals.

"I won't be happy until we have the Leafs in Omaha."

And let's not forget "Les Habitants Kansas Citoyenne".

ps. I'd apologize for the execrable French if I felt even slightly embarrassed.
