Thank You HHH

A totally Minnesotan anomaly: the DFL. If you grew up in Minnesota (like me) you might think that that smooth acronym is synonymous with the Democratic party of the rest of the country. Nope. The only way Democrats could get anything done in Minnesota in 1944 was to merge with the Farmer-Labor party. Hubert H. Humphrey helped make it happen. So the Farmers (historically Communists), the Laborers (historically Socialists), and the Democrats (the self-proclaimed "oldest political party in the world") join forces to give the Grand Old Party a run for its money. Man, I love Minnesota.
