Did anyone go to the Kerry fundraiser for Coleman yesterday?

The paper says there were 750 there.

I also got a notice that there is a fundraiser featuring Al Franken coming up in Minneapolis. It's at someone's home.

St. Paul may have a reputation for its colorful and sometimes quirky political leaders, but never has a mayor's race captured the attention of so many politicians on the national scene.

On Monday morning, U.S. Sen. John Kerry came to St. Paul to raise money and rally supporters for DFL-endorsed candidate Chris Coleman.

Ten hours later, former New York City Mayor Ed Koch was headlining a fundraiser for the incumbent, Mayor Randy Kelly.

"The only time I can recall any extra attention being paid to the St. Paul mayor was when Charlie McCarty was in office <1970-1972>," said Stan Turner, who is news director for Minnesota News Network and who covered St. Paul City Hall for KSTP-TV in the 1970s.

I've been so busy with campus stuff that I completely forgot about the rally. Dumb old me.
