      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.

      I wanted the gay dude who makes Fox News his bitch.

      Still pretty fucking hyped to vote, either way.

      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 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.
