The Senate DFL won a special election last night by thirteen points in Northfield that no one thought we would win. That's huge for a district that, until November was represented by a Republican. Congratulations are in order for Senator-elect Dahle and his awesome field organizer Dan Solomon. I must say I was a major slacker and did not do any phone calling or doorknocking for this, shame on me.
Also, Obama surprised me and won the Iowa Democratic caucus last night (congratulations to Nate and Justin). Leading (my choice) Edwards by six points and Clinton by seven. The race is still tight and lets hope it stays interesting at least until February 5th (Super Tuesday) when the big show comes to Minnesota.
Huckabee won the Republican caucus last night. Which, I hope means that Romney is close to dropping out cause he outspent Huckabee 15-1.
On to New Hampshire.
And it seems that freaking Bemidji State is going to kill their hockey program by not committing to be a tenant in the proposed Events Center. Bemidji State's hockey conference (CHA) is folding because it doesn't have enough members. We can't get into the WCHA cause they are mean bastards (and because we don't have an arena). And if we don't have a conference we can't get any teams to come up here and play home games, we can't get into any tournaments and we won't have any way of getting into national championships. If we could just push through until the Big Ten creates their own hockey conference (which they are likely to do) then the stupid WCHA might let us in.
Bemidji doesn't have any school spirit as it is and this is just going to make it that much worse. Our university president seems to slowly be f*ing every thing up. Rawr.
