Jennifer Mattson and Patrick Cotter are both out. Mattson says she supports Lori Swanson:
There is no doubt in my mind that the lawyer best qualified to fulfill that goal is Solicitor General Lori Swanson. She has had primary responsibility for the managed health care litigation and has performed with admiration and distinction. She is tough-minded, legally-skilled and knows this area of the law better than anyone in our state. Using today’s political lingo, in my judgment, Lori is the only heavy hitter still in the race. She has been slugging away at corporate defendants and winning for the people of Minnesota.
Cathy Wurzer tells me the remaining three candidates may be on Almanac Friday night.
