Biden to hold rally for Dayton
Democrat Mark Dayton's campaing spokeswoman Katie Tinucci says Vice-President Joe Biden will hold a campaign rally for Dayton at Macalester College. Tinucci and a spokeswoman at Macalester say they'll release more details on the event soon. Biden will also hold a fundraising luncheon for Dayton on October 5th.
Biden's appearance at Macalaster follows the White House's recent push to get college students motivated to vote in November. Several DFL strategists, including Jeff Blodgett, have suggested Democrats need to motivate voters who turn out during presidential elections but don't vote during the mid-term elections. College students are a key part of that group.
Update: The campaign says the event will be held at the Leonard Center Field House from 9AM-11:30 on the Macalester Campus. More info can be found here.
