It seems like a good time to retell my friends NASCAR driver story...
"In the 1960's my grand father was eating in a diner in Ohio when a famous NASCAR driver came in. They started to talk and the driver asked my grand father where he lived. My grand father replied that he was a citizen of Minnesota. To which the driver responded, "Oh you live with all them Communists...""
Well we may not all be communists, however we have again shown that a majority of people in the Twin Cities metro support more government involvement in our lives, higher government spending and higher taxes. I say this because Hennepin county alone pretty much ensured Dayton's win over Johnson. Politico Results Maps: Minnesota
On the upside, the GOP took back the MN House !!! So hopefully we can slow the tax and spend spree that the DFL led during the last 2 years.
Other thoughts?

I think the surprising parts of the map are the blue counties in southern and western MN. I was also surprised that Dakota county (where I live) is red (by a very small amount)
Maybe it won't matter much that we have a GOP house because I don't think the dems were going to do much in the way of new taxes / new spending, anyway, and the GOP can't undo what they did last session.
Hopefully there will be no budget shortfalls and we're in for a couple of boring years.
I don't know... I think 2015 is a budget setting year... Since 2014 was a bonding year...
It should be fun.
It's a decision to take the next two years. For myself, I welcome the rest.
