1. I'm having trouble finding info.

11. From the MPR site

While the presidential preference determines how Minnesota's national delegates will be divided between the presidential candidates, on the Senate level it's impossible to tell who won the most delegates.

In fact, many of the delegates chosen last night are uncommitted. The Senate candidates will spent the next few months trying to win their votes at Senate district and county conventions and ultimately at the state convention in June where delegates will decide on a Senate endorsement.

2. I think this was a presidential primary only.

At least it was in TN. The primary for Congressional and Senatorial races is in August for us. I am sure MN is similar.

3. I was wondering about that also, checked for results @ MN SOS, and didn't see anything

I also just checked out the MN forum and didn't find out anything.

4. The Minnesota DFL state convention is in JUNE -that is when they will decide

6. Not true. Go to his website where they tell you how to caucus for Al on Feb. 5.

Knowing this I can't find any results anywhere.

7. You can caucus for him but they don't decide anything until June

the caucuses may just be a way of determining the delegates but nothing is decided until June, as far as I can tell.

Thanks for clarifying things.

9. At our caucus last night in NE Minnesota

nothing formal, but the support for him was overwhelming.

14. Just spoke with a friend in Minneapolis

He said at his packed caucus, all but two people sided with Franken. Go Al!

12. there were no senate results in MN caucus

Delegates were selected for their county unit/senate district conventions in March who will elect delegates to state convention in June, where there will be a three-way race between Franken, Ciresi and Nelson-Pallmeyer for party endorsement.

15. I believe senate stuff starts at the county meetings on March 8.

16. Thanks to everyone for helping shed some light on it.
