Democrat Paul Thissen dropped out of the race for governor and won't back Margaret Anderson Kelliher or R.T. Rybak.
"My voters are independent minded," Thissen said.
Meanwhile, Renew Minnesota won't vote as a block. Organizers said they didn't reach a concensus to get to sixty percent support for one candidate.
Kelliher wasn't taking any chances. She was getting plenty of hugs from Rybak supporters, Thissen supporters and Marty supporters. Kelliher wouldn't say if she would lock up the endorsement.
"We're working this. This is a thing you earn," Kelliher said.
We're now waiting for the results from the sixth ballot.
