The Secretary of State shows all counties and precincts have reported voting results and paper ballots were being counted beginning Wednesday. At this time Dayton has an 8,900+ advantage.

MARK DAYTON AND YVONNE PRETTNER SOLON seem to have impressed the Minnesota electorate sufficiently to reverse the control of the governorship by Republicans.

@denimdemon9 That doesn't have anything to do with what is being talked about, but of course you can try a desperate move such as using poor grammar. Then again, people actually believe better grammar means more intelligence. HAHA! Doesn't matter either way, if Dayton thinks higher taxes is good and you believe it, your an idiot.

@Gypscrew This Dayton voter believes that if one is to call a plurality of Minnesotans "a fucking retard," that person should be able to use an apostrophe.

If all those people voted for Dayton, then all those people are fucking retarded. I can't even begin to understand why anyone would vote for Dayton, WTF. Bunch of mindless yuppies running around that can't use their eye's or even research this fucking fraud. That's right, if you voted Dayton, your a fucking retard, end of discussion.

You know what Dayton says right, "My dad once said, If the people are paying more taxes, that means the country is doing really good". bunch of gomers. Duurr!

He ran on taxing the rich but says his own income is 150k. Then says he put 4m of his own money into the campaign.

I need his ability to manage money!

Oh yes, his stock in target is in overseas trusts that don't pay US taxes. I guess he meant to tax only those who are not him.

@bigdaddy611000 Time magazine? What year was that? During the Bush/Cheny crime syndicate years! He knows that when a bridge is inspected and the reoprt indicates the trusses could fail, it should be repaired before innocent drivers are killed. He won't appoint his running mate to also be the Transportation Commissioner.

@Kountkelobo

His FAMILY built the retail empire. He had nothing to do with it. He never worked a day in any of the stores because he doesn't believe in capitalism, but he uses his family's name to make people think he does. And he's not a former "state senator" he's a former U.S. senator ... voted the worst by Time magazine, not exactly a right-wing publication.

@bigdaddy611000 But you can't say his life is as disappointing as your own.

[Kountkelobo]

@reostzombie13 He and his family developed a diversified retail business, and he is former Minnesota State Senator, which are achievements a low-lying zombie will never attain.
