Overshadowed by the Bachmann-Tinklenberg and Madia-Paulsen races, the Tim Walz vs. Brian Davis match in the First Congressional District has been a fascinating fight between lunchbucket DFLer and loyally conservative Republican.

This morning, the Rochester Post-Bulletin picked Walz, and you'll see this in a DFL mailing soon:

The Post-Bulletin endorses Tim Walz for a second term in the First District, because after less than 22 months in office, we're impressed by his level of involvement in significant, meaningful legislation. ... And ultimately, when Walz says he understands and appreciates the concerns of the struggling middle class, we believe him. He's one of us — a hard-working Minnesotan who's served his country, taught young people and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, both literally and figuratively.
