Bourgeois Election results (Jesse Ventura, etc.) So even the pocket of leftish activity in the Democratic party which is the Minnesota DFL is being crushed, leaving little choice for activists, I think, than abandoning this party as soon as possible and starting something else. While the leaders like HHH and his son are every bit as nauseating as your standard leader of the party nationally, at the grassroots there was long an interesting caucus system which made things a little more interesting. So it was HHH III against the Republican, with Jesse "The Body" Ventura of the Reform Party (and formerly of the WWF, if I recall correctly, or maybe it was WCW) thrown in, and the worst idiot of them all ended up on top because voters were highly dissatisfied with all of the candidates. www.marxmail.org /archives/november98/bourgeois_elections.htm   (1251 words)

Minnesota - The only state to oppose Reagan flirts with conservatism. By Andy Bowers Part of the problem for Erlandson is that the demographics that made the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party a symbol of cutting-edge coalition-building in the 1940s no longer obtain in Minnesota.
