South Dakota and Montana are holding the final two Democratic primaries of the year today.
After the polls close, Sen. Barack Obama is expected to speak at the Xcel Energy Center in downtown St. Paul, where he will likely shift the focus of the campaign from the Democratic primaries to the general election. Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak is co-chair of Obama's Minnesota campaign.
