Mark Dayton is running for office for the last time.

[Eric J in MN]

"The 67-year-old governor has said November will be the last time he’s on an election ballot."

1. Makes sense. He's done good work.

[trotsky]

2. He has served this state and its residents very well.

I will be very proud to vote for him one last time.

4. Agreed. I have to admit, I'm worried about beating back the lying Republicans.

We're going to have work hard to make sure he wins re-election and beat the bushes for Democratic turnout. Send his campaign money, too.

8. Let's face it, the Republican candidate will probably pick up several thousand votes from low

information voters just because his last name is Johnson.

Remember several years ago when nutcase Republican Sharon Anderson beat the endorsed candidate in the primary? It became clear that the low info types had her confused with the Sharon Anderson from the "Steve and Sharon" show.

Low information voters really scare me.

3. What I find a bit odd is that this is the first time Governor Dayton has ever run for relection.

5. Dayton's decision to not run for US Senate re-election was good for the Democratic Party.

Amy Klobuchar ran instead and won.

6. Amy

wolf killer

7. And moderate Republican

I know they're on the same committee, but it the amount of time she's spent with her pals McCain and Lindsay Graham makes me ill. Perhaps she's in charge of giving Lindsay his smelling salts when he has an attack of the vapors.
