[Politics] Wrap-Up 2006 Minnesota Primary

So, no surprises, really, in any of the major races.

Hatch, Klobuchar, Ellison in the 5th.

Lourey gets about a quarter of the vote. It would have been nice if she could have pulled down 30-35% to put some pressure on Hatch not to take the liberal base for granted.

The Attorney General race is still out as of this writing, which is about what I expected. Looks like Lori Swanson may pull it out, unless Kelley can make up about 8,000 votes.

The Republicans pick who we knew they would.

I hope Keith Ellison can walk the walk and not just talk the talk. He'll be elected no matter what. Hmm. Jay Pond might be worth a look, but Ellison and Hatch will probably get my vote, despite my reservations.
