MDE says Mike Ciresi is entering the Senate race. This will completely and totally change the dynamics of said race. I think it'll be the death knell for the Wetterling and Bell campaigns; against two well-funded and better-known candidates, they just lack the resources and position to compete. The Klobuchar campaign, which until now seemed to have a clear shot at the nomination and a primary win, must be very worried, though it's not clear which side in a Klobuchar vs. Ciresi face-off has the advantage. One thing's for sure, though: Ciresi is entering this race relatively late, as Klobuchar already has a lot of money, a lot of endorsements, and a lot of support among the party faithful.

More soon.
