Last week, a group of Democrats in Golden Valley sponsored a debate between the four Democratic candidates running for the chance to take on Bush lapdog Senator Norm Coleman.  The debate was the second one we've sponsored, and our most well attended and enthusiastic.  It was wonderful to see these great candidates in action, and to see firsthand the interest this race is generating 14 months before the general election.

We have put the whole debate up on YouTube if you are interested in learning more about the candidates.  It is available here:

We were happy to see friendly bloggers from Minnesota Campaign Report, MN Blue, and Minnesota Monitor show up to live blog the event.  Their commentary can be found here:
