Correction. The last time a DFLer won the governorship was not 1984, but 1986 when Rudy Perpich beat now state human services commissioner Cal Ludeman. In doing so, he helped win back the state house which had gone GOP in the 1984 Reagan-Mondale debacle.

To answer the comment of the previous writer, we haven’t gotten in a DFL’er because we’ve focused too much energy on candidates–marginal candidates–and not enough on issues and vision. We became too fragmented as every labor union and progressive group in the state threw their support toward someone different during the primary season. The result is that we spend too much time working against each other rather than looking too what unites us. We played politics as usual.

This is a Blue state from the word “go”. We have a DFL House and Senate. We have the leadership for every county and city in the state locked in.

How did we ever let anyone other than a DFL’er get into the Governor’s office?
