Interesting...

Fresh off of their expanded majority, Senate DFLers got together today and selected as their majority leader...Larry Pogemiller?? What?

I thought the whole plan given the DFL-dominated legislature was to demonstrate that when Democrats are in control, things will work better, not worse. Pogey in charge is not a good way to make that happen.

Yes, it would be very hard to find somebody as classy as Dean Johnson to take over (whatever you think of his politics, he is probably one of the highest-quality legislators in recent memory). But come on, people. Try a little!

Maybe I will be completely wrong about this, and Larry and Timmy will sit down and work everything out and there won't be any brinkmanship or last-minute deals or special sessions. Is anybody willing to make that bet?
