But, but, but, but, but, but every major race that we know about is within the margin of error.
J
17:19John PodhoretzHOST
There, there are, uh, races, there are wildly interesting things, uh, like the fact that in Minnesota, uh, the very radical Peggy Flanagan is locked in a dead heat according to almost every poll with, um, Michelle Tavola? Sorry.
E
17:44Eliana JohnsonPANELIST
Tafoya.
J
17:44John PodhoretzHOST
Tafoya.
E
20:43Eliana JohnsonPANELIST
Um, so the impact of that spending will be interesting, and the quality of the ads that come out, um, from it.
E
20:51Eliana JohnsonPANELIST
Minnesota is a really interesting race, I think, that underscores the idea that candidates matter.
E
20:58Eliana JohnsonPANELIST
Um, because Peggy Flanagan is Tim Walz's lieutenant governor, who's now running for Senate.
E
21:07Eliana JohnsonPANELIST
Um, and she has, uh, tied around her ankle, weighing her down, the Somali corruption, uh, scandals of that administration that the main paper in that state, the Minnesota Star Tribune, uh, just did a four thousand-word story on and did not mention her name.
Fear the Robots? Rob Isn’t Buying It
R
26:41Rob CarsonHOST
That, that's unbelievable, in Minnesota.
R
26:43Rob CarsonHOST
And then you've got, uh, Peggy Flanagan, who is, I mean, she's, uh, cray-cray.
R
26:48Rob CarsonHOST
Cray...
R
26:48Rob CarsonHOST
I mean, like, k- kinda oily sheen on her face all the time, kinda...

... is a big one.

18:54Greg CorombosHOST
So, uh, one of the ones that, you know, usually doesn't get a lot of attention because Minnesota is a deep blue state, is, uh, that, uh, race right now, where now Tina Smith is retiring, and the Democratic nominee is Peggy Flanagan, who, as Jim would say, is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
G
19:12Greg CorombosHOST
Uh, she is a radical-
S
19:13Scott BertramGUEST
[laughs]
G
19:38Greg CorombosHOST
Uh, a sideline reporter for many, many years for the NFL and other sports.
G
19:41Greg CorombosHOST
Uh, and now it looks like this is actually a very tight race.
G
19:45Greg CorombosHOST
The latest, uh, coefficient poll, which I think leans right, but still Peggy Flanagan leads Tafoya 43-42, with others at 4%.
G
19:54Greg CorombosHOST
Flanagan's, uh, favorability minus nine, Tafoya plus four.

So, uh, one of the ones that, you know, usually doesn't get a lot of attention because Minnesota is a deep blue state, is, uh, that, uh, race right now.
G
17:34Greg CorombosHOST

Uh, she is-
S
17:41Scott BertramGUEST
[laughs]
G
17:58Greg CorombosHOST
But, uh, she is running against Michelle Tafoya, who many people know from prowling the sidelines for ESPN and NBC and CBS for a while, a sideline reporter for many, many years for the NFL and other sports.

H
15:34Hugh HewittHOST
However, let's go way north.
H
15:35Hugh HewittHOST
Peggy Flanagan.
H
15:37Hugh HewittHOST
She's off the chart to the left of the DFL.

She's not quite DSA.
S
16:00Sarah BedfordGUEST
That's their best shot, right, at staving off a blue wave here.
S
16:05Sarah BedfordGUEST
It really depends if the National Party, though, can stay focused on that message.
S
16:09Sarah BedfordGUEST
Because you're right, Peggy Flanagan is pretty far left in a state that, you know, it is blue.
S
16:14Sarah BedfordGUEST
It sometimes kind of leans purpley.

8:45Cabot PhillipsHOST
The one this week that I've been keeping an eye on as we see more polling come out is Minnesota, the Senate race there.
C
8:50Cabot PhillipsHOST
Michelle Tafoya facing off against far left candidate Peggy Flanagan.
C
8:54Cabot PhillipsHOST
Not a race that we really expected to be all that close.

You, I remember saying months ago, hey, Michelle Tafoya, there's something there.

B
4:09Brad BennettHOST
I wouldn't select her.
B
4:12Brad BennettHOST
for nothing.
B
5:01Brad BennettHOST
Dano is the guy that says, look, when it's a close contested race, those that some of those that are going to vote Republican won't admit it.
B

They'll hide it.
B
5:12Brad BennettHOST

B

and went on for 10 years and took the lives of 58,000 American young men and women.
B
5:18Brad BennettHOST
So, you know, Michelle Tafoya supporting Donald Trump has nothing to do with endless wars.
B

Peggy Flanagan, she just has nothing she can positively talk about in her involvement in the state of Minnesota for the last eight years.
B
5:36Brad BennettHOST
And so she's going to come out and talk.
