    That is really great news for MD!! I hope they pass marriage equality this year.

    One of the states that didn't buck the trend was MN. Both houses will be GOP controlled which is the first time in just about forever. On the plus side Dayton won the Gov. election.

    The GOP taking control in Minnesota is just an embrassment.

    We too, could have had marriage equality in 2011 if it wasn't for all the douchebags who voted Republican.

    What I want to know is how over 900,000 Minnesotans were dumb enough to vote for Emmer in the first place....I thought we were an educated state. The recount should have never been needed.

    Yes, we have Bachmann...She is indeed as wicked as Emmer and every other homophobic Republican (and brainless to boot). She is a US Congress person though (representing the hick part of the state...St Cloud and wanna-be wealthy suburbs), not MN legislature, so she can't do anything for or against gay marriage.

    you can probably for the most part blame rural MN then. If you get a intiative system for tech jobs, the state will turn blue in a few election cycles. educated people overwhelmingly vote democrat over republican.

    Most of outstate Minnesota is actually very Blue...Central Minnesota and the suburbs are the exceptions.
