Kennedy cancels speech at the U of M

The U of M's Humphrey School sent out a notice saying 6th District Congressman Mark Kennedy has canceled his speech for Tuesday morning. Kennedy is the GOP endorsed candidate for Minnesota's open U.S. Senate seat. The U of M said there was a last minute scheduling conflict and they hope to reschedule.

That scheduling conflict may be Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Kennedy has a capitol news conference scheduled with McConnell at 11 AM.

He also said he will appear with President Bush at some point during the president's Tuesday visit to Minnesota.

. An official with Kennedy's campaign says Congressman Kennedy will also attend President Bush's policy speech and the fundraiser for 6th District GOP candidate Michele Bachmann on Tuesday afternoon.
