Aw, I wanted the astronaut.
He may not have gone to space, but Tim has been an awesome governor here in Minnesota, I look forward to seeing what he brings to the campaign.
Amen friend, all through the early pandemic days and afterwards I’ve been damned proud of what Walz brings to the table. He’s been a good governor – I guess we have to share now.
The seat is too valuable to give up an incumbency advantage, particularly so given Kelly’s high approval rating in state.
I knew this intellectually, but in my heart of hearts was hoping for Kelly anyway because having a former astronaut for a president would be freaking awesome. That being said I’m not even a little upset with Walz and I’m 100% here for Walz and Harris both.
Wholeheartedly agree but in the end whatever gets the weird cheeto out of the way works for me!
There was a story a day or two ago that it had been narrowed to Walz or Shapiro. Between those two, I’m pleasantly surprised.
Same. I’m delighted to be wrong. I thought for sure she was gonna pick Shapiro just to show progressives who’s boss.
I wanted the gay dude who makes Fox News his bitch.
Still pretty fucking hyped to vote, either way.
He’s one of my favorites too. If he keeps a clean record, I could see him being a great candidate one day down the road.
I wonder if he needed more time with his wife. She’s the former congresswoman who was shot, right? I just thought that that might have factored into it.
I think it was too risky to give up his Senate seat. His seat is too purple, it could easily go to a Republican in a special election.
Kelly didn’t have enough government experience, only 2 years. I’m not sure he was ever taken as a final contender.
Tbf, we have enough fucking space cadets in politics. Could use some more down to earth candidates.
