Both positions are important yet we know that they will take a second seat to other positions like daytons seat or governor. I know we talk about targeting delegates but does that mean they didn't?

I know the people in my Rural MN caucus who (1) didn't have email and (2) haven’t been to the state convention in quite some time, had the least information about these caucuses. <BR/><BR/>Keeping in mind the idea that a smart campaign targets likely state Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16458541.post-1141832237800401822006-03-08T09:37:00.000-06:002006-03-08T09:37:00.000-06:00This "ballot drop-off" is the classic result for t...This "ballot drop-off" is the classic result for these two down-ballot races in MN. This occurs because they have less than 1/10th the spending limit of the Governor's race, so they are less able to get their message out, which is an outrage considering how critical the offices are. The votes they garnered are from the most active in the party, who they have been courting.

What these results mean though, the winners here are Mark Ritchie and Rebecca Otto. If the undecideds split 50/50 they win, and odds are the undecideds will split in a similar way as the current distribution between the candidates. This will insure Ritchie's and Otto's victory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
