End of session sets up politics for fall
This year's 2010 legislative session which ended Sunday night may carry major political ramifications for elections later this year. The Republican and DFL endorsed candidates for governor are both sitting legislators. Add to that a governor who's considering a run for president, and political stakes get even higher. MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Ben Golnik, a Republican public affairs consultant based in St. Paul, and Tina Smith, a DFL strategist who served most recently as campaign manager for R.T. Rybak's DFL gubernatorial bid.
