Being from MN, it is important to expose former Senator Mark Dayton (D-MN) for the toolbox he is.  First, Dayton spent $10 to $15 million of his own money to buy the election.  Two, Dayton had promised to work for $1 per year, but attempted to renege on that promise.  I remember Dayton claiming "poverty" and trying to justify receiving a salary.  I don't recall if he ever did, but what does it matter?  Dayton quit the Senate after on term.  Quit.  This is after acting paranoid and downright strange for a bit.  Locking himself in his office. People were out to get him, etc...  In other words...  Dayton was a complete lunatic before Senator Al Franken (D-MN) election-frauded his way into office.  Now Dayton wants to be Governor of MN?  Ha!  Dayton has to win the DFL primary, but what would this fraud bring to the table?  Higher taxes.  Something Gov Tim Pawlenty was able to block this year.  Keeping MN from the top five taxed states.  I'm talking income tax of course. My car tabs still went up 300%.  Ugh!  Pawlenty is a RINO, but still wayyy more Conservative than Dayton.  Dayton also has the common Liberal talking points :  unions, smaller class sizes, etc...  I read somewhere Dayton cried about per pupil spending dropping $1400.  Good!  We spend like $10,000 to $15,000 per pupil.  Ugh!  In closing let me quick note MD.  The state implemented a "Millionaires Tax," predicted big revenue, but...  People moved away, revenue fell big...  Duh!
