Nope. I thought he stood a good chance at the beginning of the year, but he lost for the same reasons that Al Franken can even be considered a 'serious' candidate: Minnesota leans considerably to the left. The DFL is an entrenched institution and it's tough for a guy like Kennedy to overcome. On that note, it's kind of stunning how Tim Pawlenty has been so successful.
So entrenched, that, you know, they didn't even control the Minnesota House until 2006.
Yup, those darn entrenched, corrupt Democrats, ruining the lives of good, hardworking conservatives.
