This comes off as petty/retaliatory when it comes to the whole endorsement issue.  I do like Swanson though and wouldn't mind if she ended up winning.  Still in the Evers camp though.
Evers is running in Wisconsin, not Minnesota.

She would absolutely be the strongest candidate if she entered I don't know why she waited until the last minute but whatever.

Wow. This ticket would probably win the general, but it could end up splitting the vote enough to make this a four way race. I see mostly Murphy and Walz supporters crossing over to this ticket.

It's a really good ticket, but she should've entered long before today if she wanted to be governor.

This, also it suggests Nolan was lying about his reasons for retiring.  But all-in-all, this looks like a petty kamikaze move.

2018 is the year of the woman.

There's probably never been a better time to run for women

Endorsed, better to have competition with Tim Walz,  with Plenty in race.

Why would any sitting Congressman, from a safe seat no less, run for a lesser statewide office is just beyond me.

Word on the street is he's bored and frustrated with Washington and wants out and to try something new.

I doubt he runs against a staunch progressive like Pelikan though.

My prayers have been answered. Hopefully this starts off a chain reaction to get Ellison out of his seat and Ilhan Omar into it.

Wow.

Most interesting primary, either party and any office.

Personally, I want Walz to win only because I don’t want him to lose his congressional seat for nothing.

Murphy is probably the favorite with Swanson likely eating into Walz's support

Maybe conventions are useful for something after all. Swanson wouldn’t have run for Governor if the DFL convention didn’t spite her by not endorsing her for re-election.

If I had to wager...

Walz-Flanagan wins MN-01 and MN-02
Murphy-Quayde wins MN-04 and MN-05
Swanson-Nolan wins MN-03, MN-06, MN-07, and MN-08
