It's less than a year away from Election Day 2008 and this week All Things Considered is talking to people about what's in store for Minnesota voters during the next 12 months.

Mark Dayton served as U.S. Senator from Minnesota from 2001 through 2006. Dayton actually made two runs for U.S. Senate, the first in 1982. He was also state auditor from 1991 to 1995, and he ran for governor in 1998.

Dayton joined All Things Considered host Tom Crann in the studio to talk more about the campaign process and what the current crop of candidates will be facing in the upcoming year.
