There could be some studying needed by Patty Wetterling, who has taken a new job as coordinator of the state's sexual violence prevention unit (h/t: Andy Barnett).

The 57-year-old Democrat said she was exploring new opportunities after her narrow election loss to U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann in November and that she applied when the job was posted in March.

I guess it depends on the definition of narrow. The results say Wetterling lost by eight points, just as she did in 2004. May I suggest, Mrs. Wetterling, that you study a little statistics? These fine students would be willing to help you.
