Boots on the ground

The Minnesota caucus campaign is on. I’ve gotten calls from representatives of the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama campaigns in recent days looking for caucus support and organizers. The Clinton camp had a local activist call me last week. Obama’s people had a field organizer call me tonight. For being only three weeks out of the Feb. 5 Minnesota caucuses I’m surprised it’s taken this long for both sides to mobilize to this level (calling past state delegates like me). But Minnesota’s politically involved can now look forward to some urgent persuasion calls. If Obama wins South Carolina, expect a major media war here. Minnesota is not the most important state on Super Tuesday but it’s a nice get for either side. The same is true for the Republicans, but I know less about how that race is coming together. Can anyone tell me?
