The 3rd party canidate for Gov last year was former Rep. Tim Penny, a conservative Democrat who was pro gun and pro life and anti tax. The MN state house has now close to a 2-1 GOP majority, and the Democrats have only a narrow edge in the state senate, and on some issues, the conservatives have a working majority there because of rural DFLers.
As for the overall house vote, one has to keep in mind Rep. Collin Peterson, a Democrat who is also pro gun, pro life and anti tax, a overall record that is quite conservative, won re election by a 3-1 margin because the GOP did not bother to put up a viable canidate, nor do they really have any reason do to so.
