We need compromise
We need compromise in the government at both the state and national levels.This election is crucial for the average citizens.
GOPers have been the naysayers, claiming they need to protect the highest income folks. In contrast Democrats say the common folks have been paying more than their fair share of taxes long enough, in fact, bailing out the rich so they do not have to pay a slight increase.
The GOP caused the Minnesota shutdown, refusing to compromise. The result was that our state got a much worse credit rating. Clearly, the GOP is interested in social legislation more so than economic. That is, in part, why your property taxes and rent went up.
What does it mean for us here? Democrats like Ward, Stevenson, Doty, Klobuchar, and Nolan will move the state and nation forward, including everyone, not just the top one-percenters.
So, let us remember in November.

You have been so far left that you fell of the charts years ago. Compromise? To meet you half ways would still leave the compromiser far off to the left of the charts of reasonableness. Quit pretending to be reasonable. You have a long history of rabid Lefterism. Keep in mind that Lefterism is a self inflicted malady that can be cured by a modest dose of honesty.
Same old spin
How is electing all these Democrats a compromise?
How interesting this will be the Democrats will compromise with each other?
The Party of NO! won't
The Party of NO! won't compromise until it gets new leadership and re-finds true conservatism. And I'm not talking gay bashing conservatism.
The new conservatism seems to be more about gluttony.
OK Mav
Can ya spare one of your special hats for fritzy?? PLEASE.
"The party of No" is overused
"The party of No" is overused When something like that is not true, it is even worse.
Your list of people will really do a bang-up job of cutting spending and bringing in more jobs into the state and the country.
I submit that none of them have any idea of much other than government .
