MinnPost.com's political coverage also appears on Midwest Politics, a free subscriber service for politicos looking for one-stop shopping of political news from around the Midwest.
Channel 2's longtime statehouse correspondent Mary Lahammer blogs that "word around the Capitol is that [Al] Franken's troubles aren't over." She's not saying more — perhaps her sources aren't specifying.
Intriguingly, after she wrote that item, she sat down with Franken and noted this: "When I asked about word at the Capitol saying there's more trouble for Franken he squarely said 'will there be some error to surface, maybe' but he thinks they did a fast but thorough 'scrub' of his financial records."
In case the dirt sticks to Franken, Lahammer writes that Mike Ciresi's campaign is "easy to start up," but says the biggest DFL hope if Franken craters is Tim Walz. (At this point, supporters of Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer, who's already in the race, may be wondering about their guy's resemblance to chopped liver.) — David Brauer
