President, U.S. Senate, Congress, and the Minnesota House of Representatives are the major races in the campaign of 2008. This is the first presidential election without an incumbent or sitting vice president involved since 1952.
The Democrats divided
St. Paul, Minn. —
While Republican presidential candidate John McCain hopes the Potomac primaries will help him shore up conservative support and put an end to Mike Huckabee's campaign, the Democratic race remains a tossup between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
The party nomination could be decided by a small group of superdelegates, or the Democrats could be headed for a brokered convention.
