When over 150 people gather for a Democratic Senate candidate fundraiser in Rochester, Minnesota and contribute a combined total of nearly $20,000 sixteen months before the election, you know something is up.
That's what happened at our Flag Day event at the home of Mary & Ken Moen. Skyline Drive will never be the same.
And there weren't just Democrats there. The place was filled with moderate Republicans and Independents, elected officials and folks who had never been involved before in the political process.
We talked about health care and the budget deficit and stem cell research and the need for balance and common sense in Washington. We talked about the changing politics in places like what was once Republicans-only-Rochester, a town where people are now yearning for a stop to the political bickering and finger-pointing in Washington and want it replaced by a common sense results-oriented approach. We talked about the Minnesota values of hard work and opportunity, fair play and responsibility.
The enthusiasm was inspiring.
