by Tom Crann, Minnesota Public Radio

MPR's All Things Considered has been looking ahead to Election Day 2008 and what Minnesotans will go through in the next 52 weeks.

The biggest event of the year for Minnesota will come in week 43, the first week in September. That's when the election spotlight turns on Minnesota for the Republican National Convention.

For an idea of what we're in for, MPR's Tom Crann talked to WBUR reporter Monica Brady-Myerov. She covered the 2004 Democratic convention in Boston.
