It's a sense in Minnesota that we need to get back to common sense. We need to get back to taking sensible looks at positions and understanding the proper role of government.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For being in a place that's landlocked, Minnesotans have a real sense of the wider world. Teachers, friends, neighbors - everywhere I went in Minnesota, people put their heads up and looked out to the horizon.
Cleaning up the mess in Washington is gonna take a whole lot of Iowa common sense.
I think that Minnesota is different because we are proving that tri-partisan government could work, that you do not need to necessarily be a Democrat or a Republican to be successful at governing.
Minnesotans know the difference between the job of satirist and the job of senator. And so do I.
I know I have an awful lot to learn from the people of Minnesota.
Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done.
I grew up in a politically aware household: very civically-minded, good Minnesota liberals.
The Minnesotans I talk to are really concerned about what the future holds for their families. They're trying to pay for health care and send their kids to college, they're worried about declining home values, they're scared for a loved one they have serving in Iraq.
Minnesotans are ticket splitters. They look to the candidate, not the party, which is the way it should be, and that's only going to help me.
Americans are calling for a return to common sense in how we solve problems and how the people communicate with their government.
