"On the heels of a state election where Republicans picked up a U.S. House seat, took control of both the state House and Senate, and came close to winning a gubernatorial contest, one would think the GOP would have at least a decent shot in the state's 2012 Senate race with a Democrat up for reelection.

That is, unless the state being discussed is Minnesota and that Democrat happens to be Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D).

"Clearly, it's going to be a formidable undertaking. I don't think there is any doubt about that," said Minnesota GOP strategist Gregg Peppin, of the challenge facing Republicans trying to unseat Klobuchar.

One key to Klobuchar's success has been her ability to sound bipartisan while still voting largely on party lines."
