The race for Minnesota Governor....an update.

There has been much speculation over the reasoning behind gubernatorial candidate Kelly Doran's decision to drop out of the race.

Some say: it was a straw poll conducted among about 30,000 Democrats who attended precinct caucuses on March 7 — showed him trailing far behind Hatch and the other two DFL candidates. In that poll, Hatch got 39 percent of the vote, state Sen. Becky Lourey of Kerrick got 23 percent, state Sen. Steve Kelley of Hopkins got 22 percent and Doran got 6 percent.

But I think the real reason is that he feared the property rights candidate for Governor Sue Jeffers.....Sue, will you be announcing Doran as a running mate?
