Messy RNC send off for MN Republican Party official

It was a busy morning for Minnesota Republican Party Deputy Chair Kelly Fenton who awoke to find her Woodbury home toilet-papered and her yard filled with Republican political lawn signs.

At a chance encounter at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport on the way to Tampa for the Republican National Convention, Fenton told Minnesota Public Radio News she had no idea who was behind the prank. Her son thought it was probably kids.

The Fentons said they got most of the mess cleaned up and they made their Saturday morning flight to the nominating convention, which starts Monday.
