Almanac: At the Capitol

Minnesota is standing out in the huge arena for its diversity and youth.  The national media has taken note.  David Gilbert-Pederson is the youngest delegate at 17.  He has been a media darling conducting a bevy of international interviews from MSNBC to World Wrestling Entertainment (who he said was the most fun and surprisingly informed).

The delegates tell me they have the largest percentage of Indian Americans with six.  There are 25 African Americans and seven Latinos.
Many told me what surprise they've been greeted with other state's delegates who still see Minnesota as rather old and white.
