This is part of a yearlong Star Tribune series examining the role of money in national and Minnesota politics. Previous stories have focused on:
• Wealthy donors pouring millions into state causes
• The growing influence of independent political groups
• "Leadership PACs," which are funds that politicians create to increase their visibility and entertain donors.
• Quirks in campaign laws that allow special interests to gain access to candidates by donating to each party's convention.
• Where -- by ZIP code -- the campaign money is coming from in Minnesota.
