Redistricting – Minnesotans' next challenge: not just for insiders anymore

By Mary Treacy, Poking Around

The time to act is when the balls are in the air!  In Minnesota, that time is now.  For starts, the Legislature hasn’t taken action on the Shutdown Settlement yet.  Still the Settlement, if it is accepted, doesn’t really settle the Big Issues – like redistricting….All that time and energy will be re-directed to carving up the political profile of the state.  The balls are in

Bachmann primary overdrive

By Jeff Fecke, Blog Of The Moderate Left

And the winner is... preliminary thoughts on the New Hampshire GOP presidential debate

By David Schultz, Schultz's Take

Who won the debate last night? Bachmann and Romney emerged as winners in very odd ways. Bachmann won but not really on substance. She won by her announcement that she was officially running for president. Her announcement was brilliant in the sense that she knew it would be the major news or headline item the next day.
