Patty Wetterling dropped out of the Minnesota Senate race today, which means that Hennepin County chief prosecutor Amy Klobuchar should now be able to focus on the general election as the presumptive DFL nominee. I never understood why Wetterling decided to get into the Senate race. She has a much better shot at Mark Kennedy’s former Congressional seat in the 6th District. I know that she assured another candidate that she wouldn’t run for that seat, but I hope she’s reconsidering. Pushing a progressive agenda at both the state and national level may have to take precedence over someone’s hurt feelings.
