I've decided to vote for Gravel

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Why not? It's a caucus so I got nothing to lose. I'll be able to change my vote to Obama later since Gravel obviously won't pass the threshold. But the guy definitely deserves SOME support.

[Aizen]

how will you get laid if you caucus for gravel?

[Stranger in a strange land]

since Gravel obviously won't pass the threshold.

just hope that nobody else has the same idea

Are you serious?

[Meeker]

Minnesota Democrats don't have a threshold or preference groups or anything. It's Iowa Republican style - you show up and cast a ballot and then they count them.

So if you're going to vote for Gravel you can't switch to Obama later.

Ah too bad then. Oh well.

[Meeker]

I'd do it anyways though. One vote won't make the difference and Gravel is a FF who needs all the support he can get

True


....



Now tell everyone you know to vote for Gravel as well and list the reasons for it ("...one little vote won't make a difference..." etc) and instruct them to pass it on.

Spoken like a true FF. We're in this to win it, Red.

brtd is very impressionable.

If 527 people hadn't thought like this in 2000...

If it was the Iowa caucus system it wouldn't be an issue. But since it appears it's not here I'll be voting for Obama first ballot.

I wonder if Gravel will get any votes in my precinct. We'll see.

Well, that's good to hear. What is the Democratic landscape like up in Minnesota? It would have to be at least a little interesting, considering that it hasn't went Republican since 1972. What do you think of Obama's chances?

Obama should easily take the Twin Cities, not sure about the state overall. Even Hillary shouldn't have much trouble winning the state though.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Obama will take the cities, but Hillary will mop up the suburbs.  Only women are democrats in the suburbs, and most of them are soccer moms that will support Hillary.

Hillary will do well on the Iron Range and in the farming areas while Obama will mop up the college towns (Winona, Morris, Mankato, Bemidji, Duluth, Crookston, St. Cloud).

Overall, I am being optimistic and hoping Obama will slightly edge out Clinton with a boost from previous Edwards supporters.

why do you  say Hillary will win the farming areas? So far Obama has done well with rural whites outside the south.
