Are you nervous about these elections?

[Ban my account ffs!]

I'm cautiously optimistic only because Minnesota will be effectively more Democratic controlled if Dayton wins even if we lose some seats in the house and senate.  Otherwise I don't think any congressional seats will flip here.  Minnesota's power in the house will greatly diminish since none of the Republicans in office have much seniority.  Only John Kline has some decent time built up.. Erik Paulsen and Michele Bachmann.. well... Paulsen is no fundie extremist, but while Bachmann's voice is loud and irritating, she doesn't actually get anything done.  The 6th congressional district of Minnesota has both the best known and least accomplished congressperson in the state.
