In the long arc of American democratic life, a senator's decisive primary victory is rarely the story itself — it is the threshold. Amy Klobuchar crossed that threshold Tuesday in Minnesota, winning her party's gubernatorial nomination with near-total dominance, setting the stage for a November contest that could make her the state's first female governor. Her campaign, built on methodical preparation and a deliberate distance from her predecessor's controversies, reflects a familiar political wisdom: that elections are won not only on strength, but on the careful management of association.
