New Yorkers in Minnesota

Two New Yorkers try to get Minnesota voters out to vote.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that “former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani rallied in St. Paul for Republicans John McCain and Sen. Norm Coleman at the same time that New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was in Duluth helping Democrats Barack Obama and Al Franken.” The two New York politicians were throwing themselves into the Minnesota races, where presidential contender Obama appears to enjoy a substantial lead in the polls. But Coleman and Franken are locked in one of the most contentious races in the nation.
