GOP has the edge going into final week.

From today's Minneapolis Star Tribune.

"'Bonding' the wrong thing
It didn't start out this way.
Leveled to their lowest numbers in the Legislature in years, Republicans spent January shell-shocked at their losses, uncertain of their message and vulnerable to being divided by DFLers eager to pick them off with sweetened budget bills.
At the helm of each badly outnumbered GOP caucus was a rookie leader: Senate Minority Leader David Senjem, the Last Standing Republican in Rochester, and House Minority Leader Marty Seifert, R-Marshall, a smart- alecky bomb-thrower.
"I was 34 years old and the first new leader for the caucus in 14 years," said Seifert. "It's taken a while, but we've found our place now. We know that if five members are for rent, then the whole caucus is for sale."
Five is how many GOP votes that House DFLers need to win over to override the governor's vetoes. In the even more lopsided Senate, DFLers need only a single Republican vote.
Nonetheless, to date, despite numerous vetoes, DFLers have not put up a single bill for an override effort, suggesting they know they can't get the GOP votes they need.
The turning point, Republicans say, came in early May, when DFLers trotted out an ample public works bill that used loans to pay for DFL projects and cash to pay for GOP items. Pawlenty had warned leaders not to augment the bonding bill with cash spending.
When DFLers did it anyway, said Rep. Michael Beard, R-Shakopee, it was the Republicans wet-rag-in-the-face moment. "We're not rocket scientists, but we realized real fast this was a pretty clever political move on their part."
If Pawlenty had used a line-item veto to trim the bill of its cash costs, he would have had to kill Republican projects.
Pawlenty went to the GOP House caucus that morning and asked for its help.
"We told him 'Veto the whole damn thing,' " Beard said. "He said 'What about your projects?' We said, 'We don't care, governor. We're in this together.' "
It turned out, Beard said, "their bonding bill bonded the wrong thing. We've held together ever since."

Go read the whole thing. It is a fairly balanced (especially for the Strib) look at the legislative session.
