While David is right about getting off-focus, there is one
factual item in Andy's excellent story that cries out for a
correction: he had the two Senate seats switched. So,
Bob Short was actually defeated by David Durenberger,
and Wendy Anderson was defeated by Rudy Boschwitz,
not the other way around as Andy wrote.
Slight Minneapolis focus: Don Fraser had represented
Minneapolis in Congress for 16 years at that point and
we strongly supported him for US Senate in the primary.
When Short beat him in the primary, we Minneapolitans
were so furious that the city voted overwhelmingly for
Durenberger over Short, which goes against the usual
city vote for DFLers.
Over and out!
