Parker Hodges | Posted 10:43 a.m. While Tuesday's caucus won't provide a "winner" in the DFL Senate race, it will give the campaigns and voters the first formal whiff of where the candidates stand in the eyes of voters ... at least in the handful who head to a caucus. Until then, one of the few tools (other than polls, of course) that can be used to gauge the contest is endorsements. Not individual endorsements from other politicians, but rather official nods from organizations that bring in candidates for interviews before announcing which one they stand behind. In some cases an endorsement can bring volunteers, cash, clout or publicity. In some cases it may even be able to help swing a caucus. A DFL candidate appears to have received one of those yesterday when the chair of the state's DFL Veterans Caucus announced who that group if backing. Check out the choice and reasoning via the Fergus Falls Daily Journal.
