She's a Presidential contender. I would hardly think it would be wise for her to run for Governor in 2018 and then make a quick turnaround for President in 2020.

Darn it. Klobuchar is one of the worst Minnesota politicians, and this would have been more likely for her to lose than the Senate race.

Also being a Senator makes her a better VP candidate.

She may be a good vice presidential contender for a Cory Booker or a Linda Sarsour or a Martin Heinrich. She adds legal and gravitas to a ticket.

If anyone cares, Anne Neu (R) wins the MN-32B special election 53.2 - 46.7 over Laurie Warner (DFL).

This was a district Trump carried 60.7 - 31.5.

Seems that Trump is the exception to the rule rather than a new norm.

The reason for that special election is hysterical. The GOP incumbent who had been in office for six years had a petition against him claiming he did not live in the district. The suit went all the way to the Minnesota Supreme Court who ruled that he was not a resident of the district and thus ineligible, but since it was too late to take him off the ballot they simply ruled the election null and void and the results weren't certified in November. When you consider how leniently residency requirements are usually enforced that's pretty bad.

Sooooooo not true. Just because you're a Senator doesn't make you a good VP candidate. For example, literally look at Tim Kaine.

Anyways, I'd say this governorship is prime for a GOP gain due to Trump's performance in the state.

Hah, no. Maybe in an unpopular Democrat's midterm.

Uh...

Trump's percentage in Minnesota: 44.93%   
Last GOP Gubernatorial candidate's percentage: 44.51%

Democrats literally always choose Senators as their VPs.

Yeah. Not every Republican is going to get 60%+ in the rural midwest.

Previous elections for this seat:

2012: 51-49 R
2014: 56-44 R

Klobuchar also carried it in 2012 59-37.

^ Interesting. Compared with Hillary Democratic candidate ran much better this time. But compared to previous other Democratic results in this district - not so much. It seems that results of Trump-Clinton race may be a relatively bad indicator of future results, because of peculiar characteristics of that race candidates and race itself. So i expect better results for Democrats in incoming races in working class areas, and worse - in well-to-do and well-educated suburbs, which went for Clinton over Trump. A sort of "return to normalcy" to some extent...

Holy hell you're right! Last non-senator was Geraldine Ferraro in 1984. Before that it was Shriver in 1972 (replacing a senator!) But Fritz Mondale was a senator, Humphrey was a senator, Muskie was a senator, LBJ was a senator, Kefauver was a senator, Sparkman was a senator...

Ressurection time.

Apparently Jeff Johnson is running again for the GOP, is anyone else likely to run on the R side who will keep this at tossup?
