The Fix weighs in on the governor’s race
The Washington Post's The Fix examines the most competitive governor's races in 2010. Here's what Chris Cillizza says about Minnesota:
11. Minnesota (R): The fields on both sides of the race to replace Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) are packed with candidates -- most of whom have a limited profile statewide. But, Democrats appear to have an ace in the hole in Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak who is widely expected to get into the contest in the near future. Republicans may well have to wait until next year to find out whether former Sen. Norm Coleman will run but given the Democratic trend in the Land of 10,000 Lakes in recent years, it may not matter who the GOP puts up. (Previous ranking: 11)
Question of the day: What are your thoughts on Cillizza's assessment?
