It is now 2pm you still have plenty of time to go to your polling place and vote. It is of course primary day here in Minnesota. There are a couple of key races tonight that will decide who goes to the general election in November.
On the DFL side there is a hottly contested State Auditor's race between the incumbent Rebecca Otto and challenger Matt Entenza. In a race you don't normally hear a lot about this one has really heated up. Entenzaa has out spend Otto by about 2-1 in this race. Both candidates have worked hard to get there names out there and say where they stand on the issues.
Entenza in promising things the office can not do. Otto has been a good Auditor for Minnesota and I hope she can pull out the win tonight. That said look for this to be a very close race.
The republicans have a four way for Governor to challenger DFL governor Mark Dayton. Some say no one will come to close to beating Dayton in November as in the polls Dayton holds about an 8 point lead over any republican challenger to this point, however we are a long way from November and after the primary tonight anything can happen.
The four competing tonight are Jeff Johnson (endorsed), Scott Honor, Marty Seifert and Kurt Zellers. Zellers was at one point the front runner however for some reason has fallen off the pase and I would expect him to finish last tonight. The other three could be very very close , like with in percentages points. I think that said Johnson wins narrowly. Second to Honor and then Seifert followed by Zellers.
You know if you think I am right or wrong go out and support who you think is best for the jobs at hand!!!!!
I am thinking of doing a radio show tonight with the results at 10pm so tune in for that. www.blogtalkradio.com/duluthpolitics2
