Briefing - Monday February 27, 2006

Posted at 7:40 AM on February 27, 2006 by Bob Collins

The Minnesota Legislature starts its session this week. Political editor Mike Mulcahy is writing The Capitol Letter, again, although I haven't figured out a home for it yet because there's no Session 2006 section on the site this year. Look for a daily Policast (podcast) coming from Mike in the next few days, too.

Kim Millman, a volunteer on the Sharon Marko campaign, has a letter in the Pioneer Press clarifying criticisms of the Coleen Rowley campaign.

You've probably seen -- or perhaps not -- the results of the St. Paul DFL straw poll held Saturday, the results of which are completely meaningless. But the blog Broken Nail has a colorful recap of the action.

He's got a PAC, he says he wants to run, he's moved to Minnesota. So how come Al Franken still is doing his radio show? (It's a joke, don't send answers). (Update: The Blog Residual Forces missed the point of this ... and not by a little bit.)

Check out Midmorning at 9 this morning for a show on "the crisis of polling." Audio will be archived for later listening by arund 10:30 or so.

Should be a new Rasmussen poll for Minnesota out this week --perhaps tomorrow.
