You don’t have to be a political scientist to predict Tuesday’s election will be based on turnout. But because of a blow-out U.S. Senate race and two controversial constitutional amendments appearing on the ballot, election night will be an unpredictable night for control of the Minnesota Legislature. I’ve talked with GOP and DFL operatives and below are my predictions for Election Day. President President Barack Obama (D) vs. Mitt Romney (GOP) – Winner: President Obama will win Minnesota. My prediction is President Obama will win Minnesota by more than 5 points, but less than 8 points. I also believe President Obama will win re- election, by collecting 280 to 310 Electoral Votes. As I noted yesterday, Minnesota presented a real opportunity for the Romney campaign and resources should have been spent here weeks ago. But Romney’s campaign has not put the substantive resources needed into Minnesota to make the race more competitive and Ryan’s vanity stop yesterday won’t put Minnesota in the win column for Romney.

  • Rational Behavior and Information in Strategic Voting
    RATIONALITY AND INFORMATION IN STRATEGIC VOTING DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University By Andrew R. Tomlinson, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2001 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Herbert F. Weisberg, Adviser Professor Paul Allen Beck __________________________________ Adviser Professor Janet M. Box-Steffensmeier Political Science Graduate Program ABSTRACT In recent years, third parties and independent candidacies have become an important part of the American political system. Yet few of these parties or candidates have been able to win office. Strategic voting by supporters of third party and independent candidates often siphons off potential votes for those candidates, and leads to their loss. Much of the work that has been done on strategic voting leaves out some crucial elements of the voting process. In this dissertation I fill some of the gaps in the extant literature. Using data from the 1998 Gubernatorial election in Minnesota and the 1994 U.S. Senate election in Virginia, I show how the amount of strategic voting was drastically different in the two elections. I then use the Virginia data to model the vote choice of supporters of the third- place candidate with the correct, theoretically-based model. Next, I content analyze newspaper coverage of the two elections, in order to examine the role of the media in shaping the decision to vote strategically or sincerely. I find that there was more coverage of candidate negativity and more coverage of the horserace aspect of the campaign in Virginia than in Minnesota.

Could there possibly be a more appropriate conference theme than “Here We Stand” as we near the 500th anniversary year of the Reformation? Could there possibly be a more appropriate theme verse than Ephesians 6:13: “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm”? There is no doubt that the days are evil, and every one of us is in need of putting on the whole armor of God to stand firm. This year’s life conference offers the opportunity to hear numerous speakers who will help equip us to use God’s armor so we can be better Gospel-motivated voices For Life. This is also a family reunion as we have the honor and privilege of having Dr. Jean Garten, co- founder and President Emeritus of Lutherans For Life, in our presence.

It is Tuesday, October 16, 2018, and I’m here in Mankato [Mankato, MN] with Mark Halverson. My name is Kim Heikkila. Today I’ll be talking to Mark about his time at Mankato State, at what was then Mankato State College [now Minnesota State University, Mankato, Mankato, MN] So, thank you so much, Mark, for sitting down and sharing your stories with us. MH: Thank you, I think. KH: Yeah, we’ll see. So again, I’ll start with just some very basic questions that you can answer relatively briefly and then we’ll back up. So, I know I just said it, but if you could please start by stating and spelling your name. MH: Mark Halverson, M-a-r-k H-a-l-v-e-r-s-o-n. KH: And when and where were you born? MH: St. Peter, Minnesota, July 27, 1951. KH: And how do you identify yourself racially and/or ethnically? MH: Well, I would guess I’m about as WASP-y as they come. (laughter) KH: And, again, I know I alluded to this but if you could just state right out front here some of the major antiwar efforts, events or organizations you were involved with.
