That was a rumor back in 1998-2002 because of Ventura being elected with the DFLer in third and the GOP taking the house. Then in 2002 the DFL barely held a senate majority while the gov went to Pawlenty and Coleman won the senate seat. That was, of course, 9/11 aftermath...
In 2004 the DFL flipped 19 seats in the state house and another 16 in 2006 with a veto proof majority in the senate and elected DFLers to all statewide offices except Pawlenty's 0.9% reelection margin.
In 2008 we threw out Coleman for Franken and gained more in the legislature. Then in 2010 we gave the legislature to the GOP for the first time ever but elected DFLers to all statewide offices with Dayton as gov. In 2012 we gained back CD8 for the DFL, and returned the legislature to the DFL. In 2014 the GOP retook the house, but could very easily lose it again this year. Plus CD2 is in play for the DFL...
A good DFL year would mean both senate seats, 6 of 8 house seats, all statewide offices, and the legislature would be in DFL control.
so lets stop that stupid myth.
