There are two clear front-runners in the battle for the DFL gubernatorial endorsement: House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak. By the only measures currently available – caucus straw poll, pledged delegates – they’re well ahead of the rest of pack of contenders. That will almost certainly remain the case when delegates assemble for the statewide party convention in Duluth at the end of April.

There's no better way to get a real feel for a campaign than to spend a day with the candidate, particularly a grueling day. That's exactly what I did with GOP hopeful Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Delano) and his team this past Super Saturday, when 43 BPOUs (basic political organizational units) held their conventions, selecting about 25 percent of the delegates who will vote to endorse in the state GOP party convention.
