Finally the Star Tribune writes about campaign cash.

Sen. Coleman was in Granite Falls, Atwater and Benson yesterday, not Marshall. I realize you probably don't have time to read the articles you link to, but you might want to glance at the beginning anyway. Or at least remember that the Marshall Independent is a regional newspaper and covers events in towns other than Marshall.
Yesterday, you said the debate between Seifert and Mellethin talked about in the Marshall Independent was the last of the year. The article said nothing of the sort, and in fact, there is another debate Thursday night (which the article mentions in the 3rd paragraph).
