Crap. Finstad won the R primaties in CD-1

Now he will have to explain how, if he wins in November, he will "fire Pelosi."

Ettinger won the DFL. Hope he has a good campaign to return the district to the DFL.

I thought Carnahan would win, and she's especially terrible.

Roughly 38k GQP votes to 18k DFL. Guess the 600 pot interlopers won't matter this time.

And this is with the old maps.

and they didn't have quite the contest the Republicans did.

What worries me more is the August 9th election for this seat. It is being held the same day as the statewide primary but with the DFL not having any real contests in the big races (Governor, SoS, etc) I have to wonder how good DFLers will be about showing up. At least we'll have another shot at the seat this November in the general election.
