Minnesota, June 2014 (PPP) -- Hillary way ahead of everyone.

[pbrower2a]

Republicans would like to believe that Minnesota is drifting rightward in its politics and that the state's ten electoral votes might not be so reliably D in 2016.

So PPP went back in time 10 years? Impressive. Too bad Kerry already has the nomination.

Good news for Pawlenty if the Establishment forces him to run; I hope he runs (If GOP doesn't get Jeb/Christie-Kasich), he polls closer to her. He could take MN into the red column.

Yeah when I first clicked the thread I thought it was some throwback poll from 2004..

No he couldn't. He never even received more than 47% of the vote statewide.

Exciting times.
Too bad Pawlenty is destroying all the double digit fun for us though.

As long as he doesn't do any windsurfing when he goes on vacation, I think he has a strong shot against Bush.

Isn't this a pretty standard Hillary lead for a swing state? PVI-wise it points to MN being quite close from a tipping-point perspective.

Pretty much, yes.  10 point lead over Bush and Christie is basically in line with her national lead, given recent polls:

I can only imagine your giddiness when you saw those numbers.

Shocking. Two-term governor of a state has a very slight advantage over his Republican counterparts, who either have never been to Minnesota, maybe visited it once, or are Michele Bachmann. He still trails by 6 in his home state. #irrelevant

Tpyo corrected.

Pawlenty was so soothing that he put the 2012 primary voters to sleep.

Why can't we elect a bore as President? Shouldn't we seek our excitement  somewhere other than in politics -- maybe in white-water rafting or in sky-diving? 'Boring' is bad in visual design and entertainment, to be sure. That said, if I am a passenger in a car, I prefer to not get much excitement from someone's driving. If I fall asleep in a passenger seat, then that is fine. Just think: I fell asleep on an Amtrak train for most of the route between Denver and Lincoln From what I understand, such is just as well.

If we have a genuine danger, I would expect that an appeal of airtight logic is better than an impassioned tirade, especially if the impassioned tirade is dishonest or spiteful. How many of us think that George W. Bush was a better President than Al Gore could have been? Al Gore was boring.
