Senator Mark Dayton is not going to run to keep his seat in Minnesota. Maybe they should put up Walter Mondale again. "Screw them" Kos sums it up in his usual intelligent style:

Shit.

Kos puts the optimistic spin on it by thinking they may get a candidate with "less baggage". I tend to think that whoever they find will be beatable. This is a definite opportunity for the Republicans. BTW Markos; ask the former Senate leader on the Donkey side about incumbency.

Idiocy in my old neighborhood:

(Scroll down) JAMACHA-LOMITA – A 25-year-old man died yesterday after he tumbled off his skateboard while his brother towed him in an SUV down Jamacha Road.
A back tire of the Ford Explorer ran over Cecilio Miguel Soltero of Spring Valley. He was not wearing a helmet, San Diego police said.
San Diego police said the two were going west on Jamacha Road, just west of Car Street in the Jamacha-Lomita neighborhood about 3:50 p.m. The younger brother, Patrick Soltero, 21, pulled over, and his brother hopped out and got on the skateboard.
Cecilio Soltero held onto the passenger side of the Explorer while his brother drove about 20 mph down a steep hill for perhaps half a block. Cecilio Soltero fell off his skateboard, hit his head on the pavement and was run over, police said. He was declared dead at a hospital. Police later arrested his brother on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter.
Wear a damn helmet. Please!

Joke away about the Year of the Cock.

Wonder if they are already missing Terry McAuliffe?
