Minnesota Insurance

The Democrats have an urgent need for insurance for the coming elections midterm Tuesday’s, and they may think they have found, Ann Wynia, their Senate, little-known candidates in Minnesota.

It alone among the 13 Democrats, the Republicans running the Senate held this fall, seats seems to have a real chance of winning. The party hopes, Wyoming, Montana and Delaware verwelkte have in recent weeks, but if Ms. Knock Wynia can rival Republican representatives Rod Grams, the Republican Democratic must be supported by eight seats, not seven, that control of the Senate.

This is not the kind of competition that Minnesotans, pride, their tolerance and openness to the world high, are accustomed. According to a governor race two years ago, frustrated by sexual scandal, Ms. Wynia treatment seriously in this country this year to a deluge of TV commercials has raised M. grams, was once a television anchor with a secondary activity in the housing sector, which is not his salary paying the bills on time and some of them, for example when it does with rubber checks.

“It is accountable to me over $ 7500, a former supplier Grams said in one of the spots,” and tried to collect, for the last six months.

“Rod has been unable to manage his own money,” said one former client constantly in second place. “This is the biggest joke when he suddenly in the Senate, where he has to manage money from Minnesota’s.”

Mr. grams, a 46-year-old house with a freshman outcome of the vote as a conservative, as everyone in this house, said the campaign “should not be on my business practices.” He acknowledged in an interview he had suffered “some major losses, but he said he had never been in bankruptcy and has worked for two and a half years-$ 300000 to pay a debt.

“We all problems,” said he. “Your character of the action that we have with these problems.”

The latest public opinion poll, Minneapolis Star Tribune in mid-October, revealed M. Grams before 7 percentage points. Ms. Wynia said its latest poll shows them 5 points, perhaps because of their negative publicity, and Mr. Grams claims only as “good, continuous gains, putting things together.

The two senators from Minnesota in 1980, Republicans and opponents of abortion and gun are well organized. But Democrats have dominated the state since Hubert H. Humphrey, the young mayor of Minneapolis right after World War II. His son, Hubert H. Humphrey 3D, the State is now the Attorney General, and it was in hand for a demonstration on Tuesday night Wynia MonoTracer strongly irritate the opposition Humphreyesque cadences “Oh no, you are going slowly, not now that Vee — Republicans. ”

It is a widespread expectation among professional politicians that Ms. Wynia, 51 years, former leader of the majority of the State House, eke is anyway a victory and assert that the seat of Senator free Dave Durenberger. A Republican, he is retired after the end of its denunciation by the Senate 96 to 0, for misuse of public funds for the rental of the apartment and because of the violation of rules of the Senate.

But there is not much evidence to back until these expectations, and even in Minnesota, the political climate is not favorable for Democrats this year. Former representative Vin Weber, a Republican, brings Mr. Grams because, he says, still on this year’s race, Republicans than 5 per cent “of the general trend.
