How about referring to it as something like "unmetro" instead? Most of Minnesota is no more “out state” than it is “rural”. How about referring to it as something like “unmetro” instead?

Kerry won there, and they have a couple new DFLers in the Legislature. This is core Republican territory that Pawlenty needs to hold on to. TBartel: Yup.

Timmy's just thinking, "If I can bullshit Rochester just a little more, maybe I can beat Hatch this fall." <br /> <br /> The guy's pathetic. He'll spend $34 million to open a branch of the U in Rochester while the Minneapolis campus continues to lose top profs and students to other state universities who will offer the profs more money and the students better research opportunties. We better wake the hell up here, and soon, or the greatest economic engine this state has, the U of M, will be second rate...just like our governor. Luke has it absolutely right.

If there's one place there should be a university, it is Rochester. If our politicians weren't so concerned for their own ass they'd cut back the whole MnSCU thing. Ax Crookston for Rochester.

They've been cutting back on outstate campuses for years, due to lack of enrollment and the desire to centralize. The U has been talking about axing the Crookston campus for years, but it plays (very) poorly in the legislature... Bad idea.
