A remarkable thing happened on Almanac last night, former DFL Attorney General Mike Hatch and former Taxpayer’s League President David Strom agreed on something.
Just think about that for a minute.
Strom and Hatch were part of Almanac’s political panel last night when the conversation turned to the Presidential race. Hatch, who has not endorsed either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, said that he thought that Obama would increase turnout among young people and benefit Democratic congressional candidates around the country. Strom agreed with Hatch (remarkably, this did not result in the outset of the end times) and then went on to say that “Obama is clearly the candidate Republicans should be afraid of.”
So true.
The panel, which also included Sarah Janecek and Andy Dawkins, all agreed that Barack Obama would win Minnesota’s February 5th Caucuses. Both Republicans thought that Mitt Romney would win the GOP contest in Minnesota, while Dawkins and Hatch weren’t sure.
Lets hope they’re right.

Romney winning the nomination would guarentee a Democratic president. I believe that the office of the president will be diminished in the next few years almost to the point of being irrelevent. The big pickups in the Senate and House for the Democratic party will be the big story and have the most impact in the next 4 years. I am actually quite optimistic in the long term.
The Huckabee campaign has been invisible in Minnesota since Ron Carey’s endorsement of him.
Romney?: The Ultimate Chameleon Man?
More so than even Norm?
Let’s no forget John Edwards, by the way.
He should have a decent showing in Minnesota as well.
