Two Steps Forward, One Step Back
Looks like the DFL is already getting ready for the next election. Too bad they are helping the other party more than themselves. I've been meaning to post on this subject, several folks in the media have already commented on it, and Doug Grow had this to say in his column today:
I suspect that Repubs are licking their lips - getting ready to go against the big urban, liberal DFL machine.
Hours after holding statewide victory parties, DFLers in the House and Senate opted to become the party of Minneapolis. In a stunning disconnect from reality Thursday night, Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Larry Pogemiller were picked as the leaders of the House and Senate.
These two live blocks apart in Minneapolis. In much of Minnesota, including metro suburbs, they represent two of the scariest words in politics: "Urban liberals."
Picking Anderson Kelliher and Pogemiller marks the first time in 40 years the DFL didn't manage to reach outside the metro for at least one of its top leaders.
I suspect that Repubs are licking their lips - getting ready to go against the big urban, liberal DFL machine.
