Emmer to concede election to Dayton
pioneer press ^ | 12-8-10 | Dave Orrick and Jason Hoppin

It's over.

Republican Tom Emmer will concede the 2010 Minnesota governor's race this morning to Democrat Mark Dayton, a Republican source with direct knowledge confirmed to the Pioneer Press.

Emmer's 10:30 a.m. concession means he will not contest the election in court — thus averting a scenario that could have kept Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty in office past the scheduled Jan. 3 swearing-in of the next governor, the source said.

Emmer's announcement will take place at his Delano home, multiple sources said. Emmer couldn't be immediately reached for comment.

If you don’t try to expose election fraud, you get more of it.

We’re on our way-—all legislature is now majority R...house and senate.

Dayton will obstuct what he can,but at a minimum we’ll have
gridlock and that’s a good thing.

I agree, but I cannot believe that senator chicken-sh## is going to be the governor..

Time to put the house on the market 'cuz I'm not so sure how long MN will stay with "R's" in the legislature. This state is growing too communist for me -- let alone massive voter fraud that seems will continue to grow unabated

Anyone who has followed this, it should come as no surprise.

The people have spoken...now they will be punished.

Question: When will he quit?

We could start a pool! :-)
