I don't know that it's as deep as people think. Minnesota hasn't had a Democrat governor in nearly twenty years and the only DFL statewide office holder is Attorney General Mike Hatch.
Will be an interesting race. I could easily support someone like Mark Kennedy or even John Klein if he chose to run.
How about Fran Tarkington for Senate?
I also heard somewhere that one of Paul Wellstone's sons might try for the senate seat? Any truth in that rumor?
