He is a Jekyl-and-Hyde Democrat: one thing in the district and another in Washington. Walz will crack under the pressure to perform.

I've seen Dick Day at over a dozen so far. None of the other Republican challengers are hitting the parade circuit too hard for some reason. It looks like Walz is starting to get complaicent? kathy,

What rock have you been hiding under?? If there isd anyonme who should be scared, it is those running against Tim Walz!! Let the GOP spend the money to try to defeat Tim Walz. He has been at more places, met with more people, made more connects with people than what Gil did in 12 years! Who are you kidding??? DFLers scared of the challengers? Hardly!!! Tim Walz will be tough to beat!! He has been doing things right by the people in the 1st CD. Wether it be about the upcoming Farm Bill, Veterans Isues, Alternative Fuels, etc. I cannot recall over the years a more visible and accessible Congressman ever in the 1st!!! What Tim is doing is connecting with the people and the people like that. Othelmo!! What rock have you been hiding under??

I'd think someone else younger would have a better chance to win. As to Walz's margain of victory not being impressive, please. He beat an incumbent which is always hard to do and a well entrenched one at that. With the President's approval ratings under 30% it's hard to say 2008 is shaping up as a good year for Republicans.

They know that Walz's margin of victory was not all that impressive. Gallup has been reporting that the approval rating of the current Congress, dominated by Democrats, is 14%! The lowest since before the 1994 mid term elections. You do remember the Gingrich Revolution, don't you? Walz is going down, baby. Andrew,

I can't remember where I saw this figure, but in Minnesota, if 4500 votes went the other way, the House would have remained republican. I know national trends were similar. There are at least a dozen democrats sitting in Washington right now thanks to a couple percentage points. I realize that's all it takes... but I also know that many of those Democrats ran as conservatives... and look what happened... the most extremist liberal and dysfunctional legislature in the nation's history now rules Capitol Hill.
