The Star Tribune's big page-one

October 27, 2002 Posted by Scott at 12:32 PM

The Star Tribune's big page-one story this morning is Eric Black's "Mondale close to yes." Will somebody please recognize me for reading the tea leaves correctly as early as Friday at 6:15 p.m.?

Rocket Man should note the key role played by his acquaintance David Lillehaug, originally of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in the deliberations here. I have the sense that David might be willing to make himself available should Mondale call on him to play a role when he returns to office, and that David's long-sought judgeship is now so close he can taste it. Rocket Man, what say you?
