Rybak and MAK as frontrunners (with poll)
Minnesota Campaign Report &bull Feb 9, 2010
This past Friday, Almanac featured the two top finishers in last week's DFL preference ballot , R.T. Rybak and Margaret Anderson Kelliher. During that show, Rybak and Kelliher did little to encourage any other candidates into the top tier -- a heads-up race sounds like it's just fine with both candidates. Contrasts were on display during Friday's Almanac, and so are parallels to the 2008 Democratic presidential contest. Those parallels… Full Story »

Thoughts on last night's debate
Minnesota Campaign Report &bull Jan 28, 2010
Having slept on it (and caught the end of what turned out to be a very solid State of the Union address), I finally have some thoughts on last night's Major Party Debate hosted by the Minnesota News Council. First, kudos to the organizers -- the MNC and the League of Women Voters did a heck of a job corralling and managing so many candidates into a format that actually kind of worked -- each group of five candidates was able to stay within its allotted time, and the interactions between moderators and candidates were quite… Full Story »
