Minnesota makes WaPo list of states likely to see party change in guv’s office

Minnesota makes Chris Cillizza’s list of the 15 states most likely to see a party change in the governor’s mansion. With Wyoming and Kansas at the top slots, Minnesota’s 12th-place ranking — down from 11th — in the Washington Post pundit’s list relies on a ” low-profile field” of Republican candidates and a strong group of Democrats.

Here’s Cillizza’s full entry:

12. Minnesota (R): With Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) retiring and former Sen. Norm Coleman (R) not running, Republicans have a low-profile field. Democrats seem headed to a competitive four-way primary between Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, state House Speaker Margaret Kelliher, former Sen. Mark Dayton and former state Rep. Matt Entenza. (NOTE: A previous version of this post accidentally omitted Rybak.)(Previous ranking: 11)
