Were it not for Pat Murray and Barbara Boxer, Dayton would easily be the dumbest member of the senate. His family encouraged him to go into politics because there was absolutely no use for him anywhere in the giant Dayton-Hudson retailing empire.

The only reason he squeezed in was lucky timing of Rod Grams worthless son being caught diddling a 15 year old girl in some seedy hotel just before the 2000 election.

Even Minnesota liberals like their candidates to be intelligent. I wouldn't surprised to see them to ask Dayton to step aside. If he refuses, however, I don't think they can force him out given his ample family fortune.

I thought Ron Wyden (OR) had that distinction.
