Minnesota House Republicans have the plan and the candidates to make it happen.  Looks like there’s going to be a rumble on the lake…we’ll be there. From the StarTribune:

Republicans will run candidates in all 134 state House districts this fall with the goal of retaking the majority they lost two years ago.

Members of the GOP caucus will not concede “one inch of territory in Minnesota,” House Minority Leader Marty Seifert said Tuesday. “This is not the Politburo … giving [DFLers] a free ride is simply un-American.”

Flanked on the State Capitol steps by about half of the Republican candidates, Seifert said that despite the DFL’s 36-seat majority, “I’m very confident we can take the majority. We lost the majority in one cycle, we can take it back in one cycle.”

Touting the fact that more than 30 of the candidates are women and “four or five” are black or Hispanic, Seifert said he “wanted the caucus to reflect the reality of the population. I made an extra effort to move this caucus demographically into the 21st century.”

Despite the widespread perception that Republicans are demoralized heading into this election cycle, Seifert said that for House candidates, “the motivation is there in 2008 that was not there in 2006.”
