New York Times - Amy Klobuchar - 20 questions
A three-term senator, Ms. Klobuchar has been campaigning as a Midwestern moderate with a left-of-center agenda on issues such as health care and business regulation. Pointing to her electoral record in Minnesota, she has been making the case that she is uniquely equipped to win states like Wisconsin and Michigan.
I watched her 20 videos. I prefer Bloomberg but I would vote for her if she won the nomination.
