I think that if he doesn't announce definitively by the caucuses he's not running. If he does, he's obviously the favorite though not by the degree the 2 Dan's think. Don't do it, Jim! You won't be in the majority ever again and you'll still be lonely...unless...you become a democrat. it’s funny that in one paper he might still run while in the other he confirmed he wasn’t running.

Please god make Ramstad run again. We need every Republican who can win to run! WE'RE AT WAR!!!! I don't care how much it costs, or how many lives are lost, or how much money is spent, or how much corruption there is, I don't care how many weapons are missing, or how many billions of dollars are missing!! We have to prevent the Muslims from invading the homeland!! For the sake of the children, Jim, RUN. OMGOMGOMG!!

Still win easily? Or what if Ramstad moved to Massachusetts and married Larry Craig? Still crush the DFLer then? How about if Ramstad publicly urinated on a flag? Still a cruise-control victory? You have obviously thought through all the angles. I'd like to know just how far he can go. Bob Dan:

I seem to remember about a year ago that some Club for Growth nutjob was thinking of taking a crack at Ramstad in the primary. So I'd say Ramstad might have some problems in this own backyard.

Bachmann is a complete nut job and CD-2 only has a PVI of R 3. A great candidate can win either one. I do have to agree with Dan a bit though, I would only ever vote against Ramstad out of principle and because of the Iraq war. Him running for the GOP ticket for governor in 2010 makes me excited, it means that no matter who wins, there will at least be some progress. There could be a whole lot with a DFLer or they could be some strong steps in the right direction with Ramstad. I think CD-2 and CD-6 shouldnt be completely hands off.

The retirement and unretirement will have occurred nearly a year before the election, and the only people who were affected by it are the three Democratic candidates. Its good to run serious candidates in every district, but its not going to happen here, and even if its another Democratic year, its not going to happen in the 2nd or the 6th. Frankly, I think the focus should be on keeping Walz's seat, as well as electing a Democratic senator and president.

Ramstad could change his mind every day up until the date of the election and still win easily. This district is actually called MN-Ramstad, and not MN-03, because he does in fact own it.
