Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Joe Biden, will campaign in Minnesota next week.
Events aren't finalized but a Democratic official says Biden will campaign in Minneapolis and Duluth on Oct. 19 and Oct. 20. This will be Jill Biden's second campaign stop in Minnesota since Labor Day.
The announcement comes on the same day that Paul Ryan, the Republican nominee for Vice President, is scheduled to hold a private fundraiser in Minneapolis. Guests are being asked to give at least $1,000 to attend the event. Couples who give $25,000 can attend a private dinner with Ryan.
Ryan has no public events scheduled in the state - a signal that Minnesota may be losing the swing state status it gained in prior election cycles.
Mitt Romney held a private fundraiser in Minnesota in August but held no public events.
Meanwhile, the Obama campaign has made several stops in the state. President Obama last campaigned here in June and Vice President Biden campaigned in Minneapolis and St. Paul in August.
The thing that makes me hopeful is Obama is only at 53%. With gas prices still fresh in e eryones mind it could happen.
I kinda wonder if Dulluth is losing it’s pull.. That district did go R last go around. Not sure if Craveck can hold it though.
Ryan was here to appear with Bachmann
Yeah I can tell the difference between the old ones and the 2012 ones..the ones I have seen recently are the 2012 ones
Well, where do you live?
I wouldn’t admit being married to BiteMe...!
I hope so. I guess we’ll see in a couple of weeks. They were pretty busy stealing the senate seat.
When my Mom told me the story, I said “who is this man that said I don't like Communists”? She said that she didn't really know, she only knew he was there when she got there and was Hungarian. He never said much and she didn't know if he had Alzheimer's or what. A nurse over heard us and said he had grown up in Hungary, got out and came to the US in the 1960’s and had been an Economics Professor! Even in his golden years, he recognizes a Communist when he sees one!
We had a Hungarian family behind us in California when I was a kid. They didn’t like leftists, either and adored my dad because he’d fought the communists in Korea and Vietnam.
If Obama is in danger of losing Minnesota, he must really be tanking. But then most of my opinion of Minnesota has been formed by the Twin Cesspools.
Duluth is full of communists.
Gus Hall is originally from the Duluth area.
Figures! They have some strange people running around up there.
I’ve seen Romney ads on TV here in the past week. I was shocked! The democrats must have honest polling that tells them they’re in trouble here.
