Minnesota is not San Francisco, and Minnesotans like it that way. It is a state where tradition, family, and religion are valued, and where the airs of yuppy, urban intellectual elitism are scorned. Certainly there are pockets of such attitudes in some parts of the Twin Cities and on a number of university campuses throughout the state, but Minnesotans as a whole are much more meat-and-potatoes. It is a state filled with hard-working, middle-class, blue-collar, labor union people with jobs in agriculture and industry.
