There are many reasons why you want more than an hour between flights for your connection. I just recently came back from Atlanta, connecting through Minneapolis. Our plane left Atlanta on time, there were no weather delays and it was a nice sunny day in Minny. The problem? There was a plane occupying the gate we were to dock into and we waited over 1/2 an hour before they finally re-routed us to a new gate - which was also at the other end of the terminal meaning I had to run (a long ways) to catch my connector. If you can, I would recommend 1.5 hours minimum, 2 hours is better. You can always sit in a bar and have a beer to kill time.
