Hope this fact will not hinder Walz [View all]

as it may have contributed to Hillary's loss. Yes, there were many reasons why she lost but one might have been the fact that the voters, historically, switched parties after two terms. The only exception, since FDR, was papa Bush in 1988. For some unexplained reasons, the voters loved Reagan.



I read yesterday that in Minnesota, too, the voters tend switch parties of the governor after two terms. I have not lived here long enough to know, but I think that Walz is so much different from Dayton, in his style, at least, that this will not be held against him. He certainly can carry the first, fourth, fifth and eight congressional district. And he is affable, as opposed to sour face Johnson.

Hope so...
