As noted earlier, Moe's choice for a running mate could end the DFL battle between Jean Wagenius and Wes Skoglund for House District 62B as early as tomorrow afternoon.
If Moe/Sabo wins DFL endorsement for Gov/Lt. Gov, either Wagenius or Skoglund would have an open Senate seat to switch to. But which one? �Politics in Minnesota� opined that Wagenius had the best shot at the House seat, and if she�s still ahead, she might decide to move up to the Senate. On the other hand, consider the geography. All three reps in 62 (Davnie, Wagenius, and Skoglund) lost house territory in redistricting. But whereas Wagenius and Davnie lost house territory to OTHER senate districts (to 63 and to 60 for Jean, to 61 and 59 for Jim), Wes� lost house territory is still in SAME senate district (62). Put more simply (sorry, I�m a map geek) all Wes� current house district is in his new senate district. Actually either Wagenius or Skoglund could easily get four years in the Senate simply because no one else is geared up to fight for it since the convention�s just two weeks away. Ah, but what if they BOTH switch?! Map geek analysis and speculation by Chris Johnson Amused in Ward 9 (also Senate District 62) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
