I *think* what you’re saying is that the boomer generation of Democratic leaders have been centrists and it’s a shame to someone like me follow. What I think is that the boomer generation of Democratic leaders have been losers. I want to win.pic.twitter.com/RVXCpGDZ48

That's pretty interesting to know! Minnesota politics in general is fascinating. My experience is almost exclusively Federal house races

i worked 05-09 at "Politics in Minnesota" (statehouse tipsheet/reporting) & had lots of time to pick over state legislative races, the mysterious Jesse Ventura statistical pockets in battleground suburbs and so on. A lot of it comes down to personality, name ID also

Wellstone and Ventura won statewide, and Wellstone would have won again (rest his soul). (both assisted by Bill Hillsman clever ads). People can be generous with votes if they think you are a straight shooter even if different in overall political style.
