We drove 225 miles up into Minnesota from Iowa on Halloween before we saw the first Obama yard sign in the communities we passed through.

We were in frickin Willmar before we saw one, I think.

Depends on the size of the rural (mainly GOP) vote vs. the urban (mainly Dem) vote. I don’t know Minnesota politics, so I can’t comment directly, but if it’s anything like New York State, I’d give McCain a shot. New York State votes Democratic when people from New York City, Albany, Rochester, and Buffalo vote in huge numbers; most of the rest of the state is overwhelmingly GOP territory, and they have voted GOP on governor level (though seldom on presidential level). Does this sound like a reasonable analogy for what could happen in Minnesota?

I grew up in Minnesota and still have friends there. One sent me an email requesting prayer for our nation. I think their are many Christian people who will think long and hard before voting against our country.

Take this for what it’s worth. I live in MN. Andover to be specific. I have two elderly relatives who have never ever voted republican, neither is voting for Obama. Instead, they are voting for McCain. They both believe Obama is a socialist. Now that’s saying something. Because both of my aunts are FDR dems who love medicare, social security, etc…

Finally, my son’s middle school had a mach election several weeks ago. McCain won with 80%. Obama managed a paltry, 12%.

Ed, you post something like this about Minnesota every election year. McCain doesn’t and never did have a chance here. Maybe in 2000 he would have but not anymore.

I’d be very surprised if McCain wins here in Minnesota. But I will say this — the Kerry signs and bumper stickers were a lot more in evidence in 2004 than Obama signs and stickers have been in this cycle. That’s anecdotal, but I suspect that a lot of people are staying quiet about how they feel.

I do think Norm is going to win, although it’s going to be a lot closer than it should be. Franken has thrown the kitchen sink at Norm in the last week.

There’s also a late poll that indicates that Erik Paulsen is looking good in CD3. That would be a happy thing.

I personally won’t go down without a fight. I spent 20 hours this weekend at the phone banks making calls for McCain. I will not listen to the pollsters, pundits, talking heads etc. I have faith in the American public that they will do the right thing tomorrow. Please go out and vote and tell all of your friends, neighbors and co-workers (especially those of you who live in the battleground states) to go out and vote and ignore the media telling everyone that it’s over and already talking about Obama’s second term!! Just to incentivize people to go out and vote for McCain, Chris Matthews said that the election was over 2 weeks ago!! Nonsense. We elect Presidents, not the media.

I don’t think that most of those who will vote against the big-eared goblin are racist. But I do believe that many otherwise-Democrat voters are more than a bit put off by being told that only racists won’t vote for him. The list of reasons not to vote for Obama are many and varied and, if race is even on the list, it’s way down on the list. I don’t know if the Obamaites are aware of this or if they’ve just convinced themselves that it’s all about race and the populace can be easily shamed into compliance.
If it will help you Minnesotans to know this, I have it on good authority that John McCains ancient ancestors were actually Norse seafarers who took a wrong turn and ended up in Briton, adopting local customs and names.

If McCain can ride Coleman’s coattails to victory here. The 10 EV’s he steals are pure gold.

As a former Minnesota liberal (I grew up there, a 20 year resident of the frigid echo chamber), I would love to see my old stomping ground go red. But I’m doubtful that it can happen. I think it may be close, but not close enough to give McCain the state. I do think there will be cause for celebration there though, in the form of a Coleman victory. A Senate with Al Franken among its members would be intolerable.

First post here, btw. Thanks for opening registration, Hot Air people.

But, if all these polls turn out to be wrong and McCain pulls this off, I will happily admit I was wrong and Eeyore-ish. And then I will spend the next two months ranting about poll bias and demanding investigations.

Just try not to be so pessimistic this close to the big day, OK? The finish line is in sight. Now is not the time for getting discouraged. We’ll let the Democrats do that after McCain wins.

I think Coleman will win out over Franken, but I don’t see any chance that McCain will win out over the Messiah.

To be fair to unseen, I have read that polls based on registered voters are weighted according to primarily voter registration data. And we all know that ACORN have been busy little bees registering millions of “new voters,” which might be throwing off the models. This is not to mention the fact that Gallup has two likely voter models reflecting different turn-out scenarios amongst Obama’s new young voters. (Technically, since I’m in my 20s, I’m a young voter too — too bad for Obama I voted for McCain.)
