In the 1st District, a first time politician "taught" a lesson to a long term incumbent. High school teacher and military veteran Tim Walz upset Republican Gil Gutknecht.
To be honest, this description is typical of what's wrong with much news coverage. Cuteness over substance: Walz wasn't out to "teach" Gutknecht a lesson; he sought to provide better leadership and representation for the district's voters.
Since being elected, Walz has been engaged in a whirlwind of activity on issues ranging from the DM & E dispute, renewable energy and immigration.
