We're live on the radio this morning from the Republican Party's state party convention. Tune in. We'll also provide updates on the blog and I'll be posting on Twitter.

The gubernatorial campaigns for Tom Emmer and Marty Seifert are handing out campaign literature on the floor touting endorsements.

Emmer has literature that has a picture of Sarah Palin and cite's Palin's full Facebook message that endorses Emmer.

"Tom is in the race for the right reasons - to provide bold principled leadership the will leave Minnesota fiscally stronger," Palin wrote.

Meanwhile, Seifert is handing out literature from GOP state Sen. David Hann. The lit praises Seifert's 100% rating from Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life, his efforts to repeal the Profile of Learning Education standards nd his efforts as Minority Leader.

Meanwhile, a Liberty/Tea Party member, Anisha Dunn authored lit that said Emmer has gone "Establishment" because Emmer selected Annette Meeks as his running mate and former GOP Sen. Norm Coleman is making calls on Emmer's behalf.

"This is very, very bad news folks. When Vin Weber and Norm Coleman are backing Tom Emmer you know this is NOT for 'the people," the lit said.
