REDSTATE (Ward Clark) - Minnesota Senate Race Now a Dead Heat As Welfare Fraud Hits Democrats
Elections can bring some real surprises. Case in point: Only a few weeks ago most political junkies would have thought that Minnesota's Senate race, given the nature of the Land of 10,000 Lakes and at least 10,000 welfare fraud schemes, was a shoo-in for the Democrat candidate, Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan. But now, in the wake of Flanagan and her boss, Governor Tim "Great Walz of China," being implicated or at least linked to several major fraud schemes, the race is tightening. The Republican candidate, Michele Tafoya, has closed the polling gap, with the latest showing the race to be a tie.
What factors are cited for the tightening race in the Minnesota Senate race?
The race has tightened following implications or links connecting Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan and Governor Tim Walz to several major fraud schemes.
