Linda Maloney: We did our job in Minnesota.
Submitted by Howard2 on Thursday, November 4, 2004 - 08:24

Dear Howard,

Thank you for your words, and for all you do. It's hard for some of us older folks not to wonder whether we can, indeed, survive another W administration!

Nevertheless, four of us held Meetup last night; the other three were all younger than I. One was Katie, the local 21st-Century Democrats organizer who has shared my house since Labor Day.

We did our job in Minnesota. We carried the state for Kerry; Katie and her volunteers targeted ten precincts in Republican Stearns County, MN, and carried all of them. Moreover, our Dean team worked especially hard in the Take Back the House campaign to recover control of the Minnesota House of Representatives. We needed 15 victories, and we got 13.

The Republicans have to work with a 2-seat majority, and a DFL-controlled Senate(which was not up for re-election this year). (For those who don't know, the party in Minnesota is Democratic-Farmer-Labor, or DFL.)

And one part at least of the silver lining is that we have an unlimited right to kvetch against the government, to track their doings, and to organize for 2006!

Blessings,

Linda Maloney+
Minnesota
