Briefing - Tuesday February 21, 2006

Posted at 7:40 AM on February 21, 2006 by Bob Collins

A couple of political guests to call your attention to today. Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel, who wants to be president someday, is Gary Eichten's 11 a.m. guest on MPR's Midday. And Becky Lourey, the DFLer who wants to be governor is on the show's Meet the Candidates series at noon. Where can you find the previous episodes? On the individual candidate pages on our Campaign 2006 Web site.

Are we -- Minnesota -- more purple than blue? City Pages thinks so, noting that support for President Bush is higher in Minnesota than any other blue state.

Issue watch: Roll Call (subscription required) is fielding a story today looking at the environment as a political issue in the age of Iraq and the war on terror as the dominants. In some states, Roll Call suggests, it could be significant.
