MN-Gov Rybak (DFL) running for re-election as mayor

http://www.minnpost.com/politi…

Looks like RT Rybak is out of the race for governor.  Chris Coleman, St Paul mayor, is also running for re-election.  That leaves:

Susan Gaertner, Ramsey County Attorney

Mark Dayton, Former (1 Term) Senator

Matt Etenza, Former MN House Democratic Leader

Margaret Kelliher, MN Speaker of the House

Mark Ritchie, MN Secretary of State

Paul Thissen, MN Rep

Tom Bakk, MN Sen

Tim Walz, US Rep

I don’t think Kelliher will run.  I hope Dayton doesn’t.  Walz looks like the clear favorite.

  2. I like Ritchie a lot, espeically given his actions during the recount were considered fair and about as impartial as you can get as a Democrat.  He can run as someone who will put politics to the side, even if probably won’t.  

  3. Has she taken herself out of consideration?  I know she was mentioned as a possible challenger to Sen. Coleman early on, she would clearly be a strong candidate statewide.

  4. Is being governor of Minnesota that s****y of a job?  Do people think of it as a joke?  I mean, will a candidate emerge?  I feel like everyone has taken a step back from it already.
