Illinois Senator Barack Obama will be in town on Monday to hold a fundraiser for fellow Democrat Amy Klobuchar. The event is closed to the press.
Republican Mark Kennedy's campaign manager sent out an e-mail to supporters saying a group of Republican senators will be in the Twin Cities to hold a rally for Kennedy on Tuesday:
With just 34 days until the Election we need your help NOW more than ever! Please join Mark Kennedy, Sen. Norm Coleman, Sen. John Thune (SD), Sen. Tom Coburn (OK), Sen. Richard Burr (NC), and Sen. David Vitter (LA) at a FREE rally in support of Mark Kennedy's U.S. Senate Campaign.Where: Woodbury Republican Victory Office
1890 Wooddale Dr
Suite 200
Woodbury, MN 55125
When: Tuesday, October 10, 2006 at 3:00 p.m.
Klobuchar, Kennedy and I-P member Robert Fitzgerald will debate the issues in Moorhead on Tuesday night.
House Majority Leader John Boehner of Ohio will be in Mankato on Tuesday to hold a rally for GOP Congressman Gil Gutknecht. Boehner is coming on Thursday not Tuesday. Former Georgia Senator Max Cleland will also be in the state stumping for Gutknecht's DFL opponent, Tim Walz. They will make campaign stops in North Mankato, Waseca, Winona and Austin. Gutknecht and Walz are running for Congress in Minnesota's 1st Congressional Distroct.
I'm also told Cleland will do an event with Amy Klobuchar on Wednesday but I don't have the details yet.
Al Franken will hold an for 6th District Congressional Candidate Patty Wetterling on Tuesday night at 5 pm at the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph.

I hope every pro choice woman protests this rally. If they think Bachman is bad, that Tom Coburn from OK wants women not to have any rights and men should make all the decisions. He is evil.
Correction: Boehner will be coming to Mankato Thursday, Oct. 12.
