(37,573 posts)66. Perpich was a Democrat?
Huh. I seem to remember that the Minnesota Daily did not like him very much, so I assumed he was a Republican. I actually could have met him, he came to my dorm to campaign and was standing a few feet away from me. But as a mere student, I did not pay that much attention to Minnesota politics, although I did vote there in 1984. Don't remember who I voted for for Senate or any other race though. Probably Boschwitz, though. I cannot even remember Joan Growe's name. I was still slowly moving from the Republican party and just barely voted for Mondale.
Also, I confused Pawlenty with Coleman. It has been a while. I was shocked by that. I thought Mondale would clean up, like Lautenberg did.

Lutefisk just sounds like an unmentionable body part that's probably slimy and hard to chew.

I lived just north of Rochester for 3 years. I enjoyed my time in Minnesota.
