Leading handily. I know the numbers are low, but it's a small comfort at this point.

Independence TOM HORNER AND JAMES A. MULDER 48587 12.09
Republican TOM EMMER AND ANNETTE T. MEEKS 136225 33.89
Democratic-Farmer-Labor MARK DAYTON AND YVONNE PRETTNER SOLON 212771 52.93

For instance, we will most likely be blessed with more Bachmann. :puke:

9. Dayton's still strong in Hennepin County after data fix

http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/columns/polinaut/archive/2010/11/hennepin_county_2.shtml

Hennepin County has corrected data on their website and the result is that DFL-er Mark Dayton's still holds a strong lead over Republican Tom Emmer.

Hennepin over-reported votes in some districts earlier this evening and posted incorrect data on its website indicating a huge vote lead for Dayton over Emmer.

When the fix was made, the vote gap for Dayton fell. Overall, though, it doesn't appear to have reduced Dayton's overall proportional lead in the county, says the Humphrey Institute's Larry Jacobs.

Fixed data shows Dayton with 51 percent, Emmer with 35 percent and Independence Party candidate Tom horner at 12 percent in Hennepin County.

more at link, showing that Emmer's numbers, compared to Rethug numbers in 2006, have slipped to Horner.
