Sen. John Marty, concluding he was too far behind in the race for the DFL endorsement for governor, pulled out shortly after 6 p.m. "I think we changed the course of the debate," Marty, one of the most liberal members of the Legislature, told delegates in a concession speech in which he thanked the delegates. "I'm going back to the Senate, if the Senate will have me."
