Paul Ryan, the Republican nominee for Vice President, will campaign in Minnesota on Sunday.

The Romney campaign is sending out an e-mail about the event to supporters. It was also confirmed by a top Republican official in Minnesota who has knowledge of the event. Ryan will hold a campaign rally at the Minneapolis St. Paul Airport at 3:30 on Sunday afternoon.

The event comes just two days before Election Day and shows the importance the Romney campaign is putting on Minnesota.

Recent polls show President Obama with a lead in the state but Romney's campaign and other Minnesota Republicans have argued that the race is tightening.

Ryan had a private dinner in St. Paul on Tuesday after he held a campaign event in Hudson, Wisconsin. He also held a private fundraiser in the state earlier this month.

Ryan isn't the only once campaigning for Minnesota votes. Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to campaign in Superior, WI on Friday. An event that will be covered by reporters in both Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Former President Bill Clinton also held campaign events in Minneapolis and Duluth earlier this week for President Obama.

A Republican presidential candidate has not won Minnesota since 1972.

Christie is a TRAITOR! He should take NO FEMA MONEY!

Join with Mitt and our Tea Party Patriots to DEMAND additonal tax cuts for the Job Creator class! Lets get help to those who deserve it, not the lazy poor and "entitled" middle class who wont take personal responsibility for their lives, or those so called "storm victims" who want FEMA HANDOUTS!

JebBushLezCheney2012: Why so bitter?

If you want to attack, attack, attack, frittering away your resources instead of planning for the future, please do it in the privacy of your own home. That way only your own children will be affected. I would like my children to have a future, not one mortgaged for the easy handouts of today.

For once , I wish they'd hold a Sundae Rallae.

Do we just drive right up to the Sun Country/FedEx building? It looks like it's right in the middle of all the runways. Will there be shuttle buses running from a certain location to the event?

Thanks for the 411.
