Patty Wetterling. If the name sounds familiar it's probably because you recall the tragedy of her son Jacob who disappeared never to be seen again. Well Mrs. Wetterling has been working tirelessly since then as a child advocate and is currently running for the Minnesota 6th District-a seat to be vacated by Mark Kennedy (R-MN) who is running for Senate. A recent poll puts Wetterling 8 points ahead of her opponent Michele Bachmann.
What is intersting about this article in particular is that the race has been very close up until this point and they consider the possiblity that this surge in points is a direc result to the Foley scandal.
It seems likely that one of the seats to be gained by the Dems, or in MN the DFL, may well be the MN 6th.
