Lots of speculation that Klobuchar is preparing to jump in the governor's race. tritsofme Jan 5 #30

Her Senate term isn't up until 2031; she was just re-elected last year. Ocelot II Jan 5 #33

I despise this, but when you put it that way it's a service to his constituents at great cost to himself. As I said Scrivener7 Jan 5 #36

Exactly right. It wasn't just the GOP shit-stirrers; there has been a lot of criticism locally, Ocelot II Jan 5 #37
