So Minnesota has the potential to have the first Muslim elected to the house. Keith Ellison. I checked him out here. Seems pretty good, well except for his globalization and middle east issues. A step in the right direction anyway. Of course, there are a lot of criticisms too. Or for more neutral info, try wiki.
Anyway- the thing that always entertains me about elections is when everyone starts in with the slander- and it often gets really silly. My goodness- he didn't pay his parking tickets? Dear me! And I hope people don't someday use the stupid stuff that I wrote on here during college (or last week) against me. Well, its a good thing I don't plan on running for an office, because there is a lot of ammunition in these archives.
Anyway, its a good change for Minnesota. The 'lutefisk-lovers'- as one article refered to my fellow lutheran farmers- could use a little flavor in the mix.
