So our esteemed Senator Mark Dayton has decided to not run for re-election. I can almost hear a collective sigh of relief from many Dems in MN. While Dayton seemed like he was going to be great, he plummeted quickly after the death of Paul Wellstone. It seems as if Dayton needed Wellstone to give him a backbone. Dayton may have done some good stuff, but he has been out of the public eye basically since he was elected. For the last 2 months he has been trying too hard to get into the news. It’s sad really. I am hoping Patty Wetterling will decide to run. She was unable to unseat Mark Kennedy, but I think she could win statewide. I freakin’ hate Mark Kennedy, so if I have to deal with him and Norm I will scream!!!!
