The new Quinnipiac poll for Minnesota shows a tightening race:

Obama - 46
McCain - 44

A month ago, Quinnipiac had 54-37, which is great news for McCain, but could be even better news for Tim Pawlenty. Polls have shown that Pawlenty doesn't have the kind of pull to close a 10-point gap. A two-point gap, however, is a different story. Grabbing Minnesota might prove to be a huge factor in McCain's VP decision.
