More Bail from Race to Replace Ramstad

Now it really appears that Rep. Erik Paulsen is not just the frontrunner, but one of the major contenders left standing on the Republican side of the 3rd congressional district race. Minnesota Democrats Exposed is reporting that Geoff Michel is not running, a couple of days ago word also came that RNC's Brian Sullivan is not running. So I think that leaves Sheriff Rich Stanek, Rep. Joyce Peppin, Rep. Kurt Zellers as notable names still in the mix. Also, solidifying my earlier post about frontrunners, Terri Bonoff is the first candidate with a website up and running. I do hear Rep. Melissa Hortman is a contender but some people I spoke with from the district over the weekend are concerned she's been too outspoken on tax increases to work in the swing district.
