Tim Pawlenty only won CD1, with a plurality of the vote. Ouch.
In the Democratic Primary, Swanson wins CD8, Murphy wins 4 and 5, Walz takes the rest.
As far as the race goes now, I would move my prediction from Lean D to Likely D. Johnson is a way stronger candidate than Pawlenty but Walz is a way stronger candidate than Johnson. Walz will probably win something like 54% - 45%, barring some surprising event.
As far as Walz's political future after that, I could see a Democratic President making him Agriculture or Energy Secretary in 2021, which could lead to another potentially competitive Gov race in 2022 (or 2021 if our state govt. turns out to be deeply incompetent). But I'm probably getting ahead of myself.
