Minnesota Democrats
Amy Klobuchar, Sen, Ranking: 3, Has been in the Senate for an even shorter amount of time than Obama.
Mark Dayton, Former Sen, Ranking: 4, Only served one term.
Tim Waltz: Rep MN-1, Ranking: 3, Freshman.
Betty Mcollum: Rep MN-4, Ranking: 4, A little known Rep from St. Paul.
Keith Ellison: Rep MN-5, Ranking: 1, I think it will be a while before we see a Muslim on a ticket.
Collin Paterson: Rep MN-7, Ranking: 6, An original Blue dog, could help Obama in Minnesota and maybe even in North Dakota.
jim Oberstar: Rep MN-8, Ranking: 4, A veteran thus fairly powerful Congressman whose age may hurt his chances.
Minnesota Republicans
Tim Pawlenty: Gov, Ranking: 8, Young (47) and already in his second term as Governor. Could help Republicans highlight out reach to Minnesota with convention and running mate, but win in Minnesota is still unlikely.
Norm Colman: Sen, Ranking: 5, A weaker version of Pawlenty.
John Kline: Rep MN-2, Ranking: 5, Should be acceptable to most Republicans, but Pawlenty would be better to make a run at Minnesota.
Jim Ramstad: Rep MN-3, Ranking: 4, Probably too liberal to be the Republican VP.
Michele Bachmann: Rep MN-6, Ranking: 3, Freshman.
