Klobuchar v Kennedy: It ain't over
Nothing's ever over until it's over. No matter what the DSCC or NRSC say:
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has cancelled two weeks of ad time on Twin Cities TV stations that was scheduled to run on behalf of Amy Klobuchar. The National Republican Senatorial Committee hasn't even invested or scheduled time on behalf of Mark Kennedy. Political experts say the parties are turning their attention and money to closer contests in other states.
St. Paul, Minn. — Earlier this year, national party strategists said Minnesota's U.S. Senate race could determine which party controls the Senate. Now, a month before the election and with many polls showing Amy Klobuchar with a big lead, political handicappers aren't even mentioning Minnesota in the top five.
An official with the National Republican Senatorial Committee won't comment on campaign strategy. But documents filed at KARE-11, KSTP-TV and WCCO-TV show that the NRSC has not bought or scheduled any ad time on behalf of Kennedy.
I think Klobuchar wins, but also think momentum will switch to Kennedy one time before election day. When that happens, Klobuchar has to be ready to close out the race.
