The Minnesota Senate took one of those votes on an issue a few minutes ago that I can't quite figure out has campaign implications or not. It was also one of those strict party line votes (with Votetracker, by the way, you can break the vote down pretty easily).
It's on the issue of unemployment compensation for Northwest strikers.
The issue may well be going nowhere since the House hasn't even given it a committee hearing yet. Must've been a tough call for Rep. Chris Gerlach, who I think was a co-sponsor of the bill at some point (don't quote me). He voted against it. He represents Apple Valley, which, last time I was there (and it's been awhile) was thick with Northwest employees.
