"Top Dems Ready To Stump For Dayton"

After a few articles focusing on Republican candidate Tom Emmer, I was starting to wonder if the Star Tribune was only interested in sharing one side of the story. But, the Governor's Race article on Wednesday, "Top Dems Ready to Stump for Dayton," was dedicated to the democratic candidate Mark Dayton. Rather than focusing on policies, the article focused on Dayton's campaign strategy. A key factor in his campaign strategy right now is getting support from important well-known democrats including Vice President Joe Biden, former President Bill Clinton, and President Barack Obama, who all plan to visit MN in the coming weeks.

"'I think the three of them spaced out over the next few weeks will really help ignite excitement for this race among activists,' Dayton said." (Star Tribune, Sept. 8, 2010)

Although Democrats hope these visits will strengthen their campaign, Republicans think Democrats will lose votes because of President Obama's low approval rating right now.
