Banking lobbyist, political dilettante declines to show up.

MinnPost reporting. Candidates for governor show up and talk, absent one who depends on money bags and name recognition instead. Home of the brave must mean different things to different people. Did all those deep-pocket fundraising attendees in Minnesota and Florida expect to be backing a no-show?

Probably. Whoever they are.

While the other candidates talked of their beliefs and policy thinking, the absentee must have been deciding what, today, are his beliefs and policy thinking. Giving banks all they want legislatively likely is recognized as a dog that won't hunt a governorship, so watch for a super-funded reaching for platitudes that might hunt.
