I'm leaning towards option 4.  Anyone but Emmer.

Got a call from Margaret's people, telling me she was the best for GLBT issues...somehow I got on someone's list of people to call for that.  Dayton seems to be strongest on jobs.  Entenza's main issue seems to be education...having no children, this isn't at the top of my list.

It looks like all the major DFL candidates support marriage equality. Dayton is running the best against Emmer in the general.

Vote for Margaret. But whatever you do you have to vote. So options 4 & 5 aren't really options IMHO.

If I were you I'd vote for Entenza. He's the only candidate that I would definitely back over Emmer.

Well, I'm back from voting.  There were actually 4 choices in the DFL column for Governor/Lt. Governor.  I was also surprised to see Keith Ellison had some primary competition.  I voted for Keith, of course.

I'm sorry your pick didn't win the primary. Dayton should win the general, though, so it's no big deal.

Ellison's opponents were a perennial candidate and his 2008 Republican opponent oddly.
