The New York Times has a fun, fascinating look at the “odd politics” of Minnesota after last week’s conclusion of the U.S. Senate Recount Legal Proceeding/Election, Inc.
Good Iron Rangers won’t like the characterization of late former Gov. Rudy Perpich, but it is true that Perpich, Ventura, Bachmann, Ellison, Franken, Wellstone, McCarthy, Humphrey, Mondale and the great Farmer-Laborites of the ’30s and ’40s (juxtaposed with the Volstead Act and Prohibition, a Minnesota creation) represent a very unique political tradition in Minnesota that deserves study.
