One line on the flyer in the jpg says "With our health care system in crisis, our schools failing, our roads crumbling and crowded, and regressive property traxes skyrocketing . . ."
When I moved from Minnesota in 1990 the biannual state budget was about 12 billion $. Sixteen years later it's twenty-five billion $. The population of the state has grown about 15% in that time. It isn't immediately apparent that the state government is starved for cash.
Anyway, how can things be so bad in MN when its been ruled by the DFL since 1960 or so? Why can't this fiscal crisis be solved by having public employee's and school teachers give back 5% of their salary? Won't they be happy to pay for a better Minnesota?

Thanks! I've often thought the same thing...since the DFL has run St. Paul and the St. Paul Schools for so long, how can the mean and nasty Republicans have come in and RUINED it in such a short time....answer: The DFL hasn't done such a great job running the schools....or have they? When they want to score points, they will wave about the reports of how well the minority students are doing, and how you can thank the progressives for that, but in the same breath, can turn around and blame the conservatives for the POOR RESULTS of the minority students. Huh? Either our kids are doing well, or they're not; it shouldn't depend upon who the DFL wants to credit or blame. That's one of the big quandries the DFL is in....they can't actually say things are going well, or they'll no longer have the "poor, poor Minnesota and the mean Republicans" argument, but they can't only complain about how miserable things are, because eventually the word will get out that the Republicans actually have made some inroads and the state is looking up, and they get the label of whiney liberal. Guess they're darned if they do, darned if they don't. Can't say damned, may offend someone, you know!

So being compared to or linked with Joseph Lieberman is now the death knell in DFL-politics?

To think, just six short years ago, they couldn't wait to do photo ops with him and Mrs. Lieberman and now it's as if he's carrying the bubonic plague or something because he was part of the DLC. You know, the group founded in part by the last Democrat to be reelected President since Truman?

Thorley-
I believe Truman was only elected president once, in 1948.
Anyway I get your point. It seems like Kos, Atrios, etc, live in bearded-spock universe or something. They look at all the presidential elections going back 50 years & come to the conclusion that a plain majority of Americans want a president from the Ted Kennedy wing of the democratic party.
