Endorsement or not she could have run, but she chose not to. We have had a lot of conventions that didn't endorse the eventual winner. I think this one was a tough race for any democrat. The iron range has been a swing district for a while, with a lot of the residents buying the tea party crap from the radio and Oberstar lost three elections back. I was up there and saw the outside astroturfers at work and I think a lot of dark money has been thrown in by the mining interests. The Republican candidate seemed to be squeaky clean and was a hockey star in college, which is huge on the Range.
