Minnesota is looking pretty good - Both D Senators, Klobuchar and Smith, have won.

Dean Phillips has beaten Erik Paulsen (yay!) and Angie Craig is predicted to beat Jason Lewis (yay!!). Ilhan Omar has won the 5th CD, which was a sure thing (I still don't know the name of her opponent, and that's my district!), McCollum holds the 4th, and blue dog Dem Colin Peterson will probably win the 7th again. Looks like the GOP will take the 1st, 6th and 8th but knocking off Lewis, if that happens, and Paulsen is really satisfying. Keith Ellison for AG is currently 10 points ahead of anti-LGBT extremist Wardlow. And Tim Walz has beaten the pants off Trumpite GOPer Jeff Johnson for Governor by about 16 points. So we're in good hands.

Update: CBS just called it for Angie Craig!

I bought into his message early on and I have been hounding Erik Paulsen for a while now. I've protested at his office and I have been a thorn in his side. Can't wait for Dean to represent us! And for Heather Edelson to represent us on the state level!

Walz is awesome too! I wasn't sure about him at first and then I met him at a fundraiser and he impressed me so much! Now we just need Ellison to take over the AG role and we will be rocking in the star of the north!
