Wow, not much in the way of good news for the Stenberg campaign on this list
tonight! Fortunately, we are confident we have run a solid campaign geared for
victory. I, of course, will be quite interested in how incorrect these
predictions turn out. While we have not deluded ourselves into thinking that
the DFL does not practically own this seat, we have been incredibly surprised at
the positive response from voters as we doorknock the district. Maybe it's just
been "Minnesota-nice" people who won't end up voting for me. Regardless, I have
truly appreciated the kind responses from so many people as I talk with them.
Thank you.
Other than the victor, I will be curious to see how the "Republican base" has
changed, as Minn stated. Previously, it was about 23% which is where he puts
me. I got 24.1% two years ago against a popular incumbent. I will also be
curious to see if the Independence Party can increase the 7.7% showing for it's
Reform candidate from two years ago when Gov. Ventura got 30.8% of the vote in
the same district in the same election. Voters don't necessarily vote for an
independent just because he or she is on the ballot. Many really do vote for
the person.
Furthermore, will the Independence Party vote cut more into the DFL or
Republican vote? I won't make a final prediction but frankly don't see me
getting less than 30% of the vote or the Independence Party getting more than
10% of the vote. If the DFLer gets less than 50% of the vote, that would be
incredible. We'll all know in just a few hours!
