From the Associated Press:
ST. PAUL (AP) - Minnesota's two top candidates for governor will pull their T-V ads on the anniversary of the September 11th attacks on Monday, one day before the primary election.
A spokesman for Governor Pawlenty's campaign says all stations except one in the Fargo area agreed not to run his ad that day. A spokeswoman for Democratic candidate Mike Hatch says the anniversary is a good day for a break from politics.
The hottest primary race is for the Democratic nomination in the 5th Congressional District in Minneapolis. Candidates Ember Reichgott Junge and Paul Ostrow will run their ads. Plans for the other candidates weren't clear. Reichgott Junge spokesman John Wodele says the ads will run because they are positive.
In the U-S Senate race, Republican Mark Kennedy is going ahead with his ads. A spokeswoman for Democrat Amy Klobuchar didn't return a phone message.
