I really hope this doesn’t drag out for several months. I hope Dayton can humbly accept a victory and this will be resolved quickly.

Please Not another recount, Emmer, it’s time to put down the microphone and let Dayton do some work.

Like ruining the state of Minnesota, Sara? What a good idea.

The people have spoken let’s stop letting the courts decide who gets elected. One political position isn’t going to “ruin” the state. Enough with the personal attacks.

Emmer, fight this to the end, we cant be lead by a lunatic

The Al Franken election was so messed up. They found 800 votes in the back seat of a car.. I felt like some meddling was done and we will never know the true winner of that race. I hope that this doesn’t take so long, and it is fair. All things said I still can not believe this state. We see the nation cleaning house for good reason and this state still goes blue.

Dayton got an “F” as a senator and even rated himself as a poor senator and yet the Democratic state of MN wants him to be our governor? Want gives MN?

After half a year of the last recount fiasco, what was the dollar amount spent on that one? Let Emmer recount all he wants as long as he pays for it and not us.

Dayton was given an “F” as a senator and he even rated himself as a poor senator but the Democratic state of MN wants him as our governor? What gives MN?

Sometimes I’m embarrassed to be a minnesotan what is wrong with you people. Dayton is a completely incompetent fool.

Ones a fool , the other a drunk …….. not exactly an easy choice .

We in Minnesota are shining example for the rest of the country to follow. Be kind, compassionate, educate all the children, put money into research so we can be competitive with the rest of the world, give jobs to people by investing in our collapsing infrastructure, stop wall street welfare, tax the rich who can afford it and cut taxes on the middle and low income earners. It just makes common sense. Wake up people or the right wing will bring us down the way of the Roman empire.

Hello Sara,

I understand your sentiment, but you’ve directed it to the wrong person. Senator Dayton was rated as one of the worst senators in recent years by TIME magazine and they usually know a little more about this than I do.

I didn’t think that they did recounts unless a Republican was ahead. Then they would recount as many times as it took to find enough blue votes.
Just look at the Coleman/Franken fiasco.

Did not appreciate having to choose between these two clowns. Dayton was an awful senator, Emmer is like an even worse version of Pawlenty (still find it hilarious that Emmer believed waitresses earn $100,000 a year…) So sad that Kelliher lost the primary, I think she would’ve been a great governor.

Agreed. I don’t want a spoiled brat to be our governor! He hasn’t worked at a real job.

Shing example? I’ve been unemployed for so long that I don’t count anymore. Educate the children? They didn’t have enough textbooks in my granddaughter’s class, so they xeroxed a textbook for her and a few others. My fifth graded grandson in Texas was issued a laptop with all textbooks and homework assignments in it. When he goes to school, they poll his computer to check his homework and see that he did it. We need some right thinking now. The left will bring us down.

Given that horrible choice, always take the drunk. They may sober up and have a thought. The fool never had a thought.

As a current student, I would say school’s will never have enough textbook no matter who’s in office. And there is nothing wrong with using a laptop, at least the school was well enough to provide students with laptop.

The school in Texas is just operated differently than the schools here. They use their money better
and their facilities more professionally. All of the laptops are open to monitoring in school while they
check the homework and status. It’s great for checking attendance, too.

The amazing thing is that they have a smaller budget than my own school district here.

If Dayton wins, Republicans are just getting what they asked for when they crossed over and voted for Dayton in the primary to make it easier for Emmer.
But either way – vote issues, not people:
Raise state income by a progressive income tax that is still affordable by our wealthiest citizens, rather than cutting services for those who are out of a job by no fault of their own. Accept healthcare federal money. And don’t tell us who to love and how to live. So I held my nose and voted for Dayton.

you sound like a campaign add.

Texas schools are also trying to remove Thomas Jefferson from the history text books because he was a deist. I think accuracy has to count for something.

Yes, let’s set an example. Tim Pawlenty has cut the Minnesota school budget by the cost of $1,300 per student, why do you blame the Democrats for for this? You do count and if you pay attention, the Republicans have given tax breaks to companies who outsource jobs from America to third world countries, why? Why continue to give tax breaks to the rich? The corporations make more money, wall street wins and hard working Americans lose. Look at your representatives, who do they work for? You or the lobbyist and elite who pay to buy politicians to make laws to make corporations more money, while they continually outsource jobs. The Democrats are for the working people and the Republicans for the rich.

Agreed. Tim Pawlenty came many times to a restaurant I work at and never gave anyone more than a 7% tip. Even though the owner have him and his family free wine and extras not included in the bill. Enough spoiled brats as Gov!!! Also, do we want a drunk as our Governor???

That would be ad not add……….

Yes, lillyla, you are oh so right, I mean left.

Only the first line of my comment to lillyla got posted. You have to have seen the whole thing to understand what was intended. We need a way to separate paragraphs.

You’d prefer a selfish drunk?

We absolutely need a Democratic governor now that the MN congress has gone to the Republicans!

Or he might not sober up ever, perhaps might even take out a few innocent drivers or pedestrians while while driving under the influence.

Hi Guest,
I believe Franken won the first recount and then the further challenges were from the Coleman side.

It’s not that we want Dayton for governor, we just don’t want Emmer to be governor.

Dayton go to work? Dayton is a class 1 idiot, better he does absolutely nothing.

If Dayton “wins” you can be sure it will be within the Mark Ritchie, ACORN, SEIU margin of error like the other idiot… Franken.
