MN: Dayton - Financial Advisor Shake-up

"Dayton is foregoing another cash source for incumbents by refusing to take political action committee money. His challenging financial situation is one reason Republicans see him as a vulnerable incumbent. Rep. Mark Kennedy, R-Minn., is among those eying a challenge."

"Dayton's finance director, Dinah Dale, left the campaign last month, and his national fund-raising consultant, Shari Yost, left in October. Both changes were described as "mutual" by all three involved.

Dayton, a Minnesota Democrat, has brought in Kim Kauffman, who was a top fund-raiser for last year's failed Senate campaign of North Carolina Democrat Erskine Bowles, to replace Yost. He has not yet hired a replacement for Dale."

No official challenger yet, but as above, Kennedy is eyeing the spot...and as the article also notes, Shrum has been hired by Dayton as well.
