Minnesota Gubernatorial thread

Rybak just said he'd sign legislation establishing gay marriage at his speech. FF.

Could that get through the legislature (and not be subject to a refrendum overturning it or amending the constitution)?

And the DFL continues their streak of choosing terrible candidates for Governor! Good job, guys!

Any chance she loses the primary? Dayton presumably still has boatloads of personal money to spend, and he'd probably have a better shot.

Is there any evidence that picking a Lt. Governor for geographic balance has any appreciable effect on voters? I can't imagine most people know, or even care, who the Lt. Governor is or what they do.

Emmer's son is officially an asshole and probably not much different from Hamilton: http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/2010/09/tom_emmer_was_f.php

Granted this doesn't have much to do with Emmer himself directly but at least it'll bring light to his vote against that anti-bullying bill which certainly won't play well with the soccer moms. I didn't know that Pawlenty even vetoed that bill. What trash.

I don't think it's a good idea to use a candidate's family to attack him.
