Romney to bring campaign to Minnesota

Published 10:26 am Wednesday, February 1, 2012

MINNEAPOLIS — GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney is scheduled to visit Minnesota today, less than a week before the state’s caucuses.

Romney will appear with former Gov. Tim Pawlenty at 1 p.m. at Freightmasters, a trucking company in the southern suburb of Eagan. It’s Romney’s first visit to the state and will come fresh off Florida’s primary.

Minnesota has 40 delegates up for grabs, but its caucuses are nonbinding.
