North central Minnesota tourism will never be the same now that the primaries have already been held there. The movie star quality of both Hilary and Borok drew crowds from far and wide. Many people went from one side of the state to the other just for the chance to see both candidates. You also had “groupie�? candidate followers that would go from one event to the next in the state just to see their person one more time. Obama followers seemed to do that more than the ones for Hilary, but then again he seems to draw a younger crowd and they are generally more mobile and more willing to sleep on a couch somewhere than the older crowd following Hillary is. McCain did not seem to have that same draw. People seemed to come mostly from just the local area to hear his speeches, something that both the republicans and the democrats took note of. Huckabee did have his draw, mostly Christians from all over the state that felt rather left out in the whole process. His draw was young and old and all ages in between, while McCain seemed to draw mostly older voters. Time will tell as to the election results.
