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.
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.
