Is the fix in?

From Wednesday's MN gubernatorial debate in Moorhead:

The debate covered the plight of transgender student athletes...but not MNSure, one of the most controversial issues in state politics.

The debate was moderated by Don Davis, Forum News Service's Minnesota political reporter.

If some members of the Minnesota media are not doing their darnedest to drag Gov. Mark Dayton across the finish line, how would the treatment of Dayton be any different if they were? From what I understand, Mr. Davis was to ask his own questions as well as those submitted my Minnesotans. Are you telling me there weren't at least dozens of Minnesotans asking questions about the MNSure boondoggle? And if indeed Mr Davis is an astute political observer, wouldn't he too be familiar with the more salient issues affecting citizens of this state?

Regardless, the Strib had a decent write up of the debate here.
