Hofrenning surprised that 'party endorsement still has value'

Professor of Political Science Dan Hofrenning was quoted recently in the St. Paul Pioneer Press regarding Minnesota's gubernatorial race. "One surprise in the 21st century is that the party endorsement still has value," he said. "You would think in the age of the Internet and Facebook and the candidates' ability to raise money on their own, it's surprising that the endorsement is still taken very seriously on the Republican side and on the Democratic side."
