5. I hate to be negative...

But the Daly & Wetterling campaigns were two of the worst run congressional races I have ever seen.

Wetterling was on the defensive from day 1. She never articulated a clear difference between herself and Kennedy and positioned herself so far left, she had no chance in that district - 95% name ID or not. Frankly, the only thing that anyone heard from her was whining about Screech being mean...and whiners never win.

The Daly campaign was even worse. Their commercials were junk, their campaign had very little prescence in the district and Teresa was a terrible candidate. The only thing they had going for them was an ability to raise an exorbitant amount of money...about $1 million, I think...For those of you without a calculator, that's about $50,000 for every point she lost by.

For shame...

7. Yep, she beat Lynda Boudreau, who is one of the nastiest

'human beings' on the face of the earth. I am SO GLAD this happened. I'm very proud of Minnesota - we stood up to the beast and said NO.
