The 3rd moves up in Fix ranking

Posted at 8:27 AM on September 27, 2008 by Tom Scheck

The Washington Post's The Fix moved the race for Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District up a notch. Here's what they wrote:

17. Minnesota's 3rd district (R): This suburban Twin Cities district is playing host to a great congressional race to replace retiring Rep. Jim Ramstad (R). The contest looks like a toss up but the DCCC is now up with a commercial casting state Sen. Erik Paulsen (R) as a career politician and Patriot Majority Midwest is also hammering Paulsen on TV. It could make the difference. (Previous ranking: 18)
