Well...maybe not MN, but the dems can't hold MN with Clinton, I am pretty sure there will be no Democratic Revival until we get another 1929 or when a major U.S. goes up in a mushroom cloud....and with Bhutto dead, I would say the chance of that happening went from like 5% to like 25%.

'Hold' Minnesota?  They don't hold it now.. they need to pick it up.  And I think Clinton will do fine in that state.  As for the Bhutto effect - as much as I agree that she was a fine person, at least as far as the frightful miasma that is Pakistani politics goes, I must point out that she was just an opposition leader with little chance of actually attaining power.

Hoping for the day, I see.

Actually given that the fear of mushroom clouds has always benefited the War Party (hysteria/fear/xenophobia/nationalist party), it seems like the actual clouds would benefit them even more.
