Student worker Adam Hennings is quoted in this story about the ongoing battle for a Democratic presidential candidate.

"I don't see a prolonged rift in the party because yesterday really wasn't much of a game-changer," said Adam Hennings, 19, a University of Minnesota undergraduate from White Bear Lake who heads a student group backing Obama. "My biggest concern is what happens to the youth vote if Obama isn't the nominee. When you look at the amazing turnout we had here, there could be a pretty negative reaction.

"I was shocked to hear Hillary talking about [a shared ticket] already today. It'd be kind of a dream ticket, but the party has to have balance, a Southerner, a governor. So I don't think it'll happen."
