The reason for that special election is hysterical. The GOP incumbent who had been in office for six years had a petition against him claiming he did not live in the district. The suit went all the way to the Minnesota Supreme Court who ruled that he was not a resident of the district and thus ineligible, but since it was too late to take him off the ballot they simply ruled the election null and void and the results weren't certified in November. When you consider how leniently residency requirements are usually enforced that's pretty bad.

Also being a Senator makes her a better VP candidate.

Sooooooo not true. Just because you're a Senator doesn't make you a good VP candidate. For example, literally look at Tim Kaine.

Anyways, I'd say this governorship is prime for a GOP gain due to Trump's performance in the state.

Uh...

Trump's percentage in Minnesota: 44.93%   
Last GOP Gubernatorial candidate's percentage: 44.51%
