Fightin' Dems, Minnesota-style

Via MN Publius, I see that Andrew Borene, a veteran of Iraq War II, is running for Senate in District 41, which includes Edina and Bloomington. The current occupant of that seat is Republican Geoff Michel. Although the Iraq war probably won't be a huge issue on the state level, it's great to see a veteran running for office, and he should give Michel a real run for his money.

Funny, almost all the Iraq war veterans running for higher office around the country are running as Democrats. I wonder why that is?
