42% for Emmer?

[iowasocialist]

How could 42% vote for a jerk who consorts with a group that thinks gays should be killed???

What in Hades is going on in this country?

1. The same people that elected

republicans to take over the legislature in Minnesota

I think the only democrats left in Minnesota
are on Du

2. And those are the same people who probably don't know that at all.

There is an absolute failure at getting the information and the messages out there.

3. If one refuses to look at the information

and decides to stick with their unbending
attitudes, the information does not matter.
The facts are out there for anyone to look at.
It would seem that the only way some will wake up
is if they run into trouble and ask for help and it is not there
they may then ask why.

6. I'm not a fan of facts.

You see, the facts can change, but my opinion will never change, no matter what are the facts. -- Stephen Colbert

7. The republicans are not fans of facts either

It is either facts or faith.

It depends on what you hold for your opinion. My opinions are always up for review.
My beliefs are always up for review, for that is the only way for one to grow.

4. remeber that's only 42% of those that voted

[Spike from MN]

5. I haven't been able to find the final stat on voter turnout

but the Strib said we had about a 58% turnout with 19 precincts left to tally. That's right about in line with 2006 where the turnout was 60.46%.

8. TV ads

Emmer didn't look like the jerk he is in his TV ads, and that's all that many voters know about him.
