President Barack Obama's ground campaign and a shifting sentiment toward the two constitutional amendments have the state's DFL party feeling positive headed into Election Day.
Twin Cities Democrats think the state's most controversial issue–the amendment to the state's constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman–will fall flat on Tuesday, making Minnesota the first state to vote down such an amendment.

Rick Perry leading the GOP field with 24 percent support among likely Republican voters. Bachmann comes in not second, not third, but fourth, trailing Perry by a full 14 points.

On that note, the International Business Times says Perry is continuing to steal Bachmann's thunder as the candidate of choice for tea partiers.
