CNN is reporting they are calling the National Guard as police are being overwhelmed but the CNN guy at the convention center said any violence was being kept away from there.

Who is the Minnesota Governor? I'd have thought the NG troops would have already been in place knowing that protesters were coming.

Your interest in politics seems to be casual at best.

Tim Pawlenty.

I’m sure they are already called up -but this was them being called in to this situation. I’m sure they try not to use military units for ordinary policing.
