2. Thank god for a weak rep candidate

Dayton's been trying for a while but he's a lousy campaigner and tainted with the loser label so against Pawlenty or anybody better than Emmer this could have been closer.

His (Dayton's) policies aren't bad thankfully, just his campaigns have been.

3. The only thing you have to worry about is the magic voting machines

in the Minneapolis area. Somehow, someway they seem to quadruple the votes.
