Strib Says Emmer To Concede

Article here. Huh, I guess we might actually get a governor after all. I thought this would be dragged out forever.

Re: Strib Says Emmer To Concede

  • Stoked.  I worked on the recount and I knew they (the Emmer team) weren't going to be able to come up with the votes, but truthfully, I was convinced they were going to try to prolong it with a lawsuit. I am just glad they will have someone sworn in on Jan 3rd for the legislative session. Big Smile

  • DH said he saw something about this last night being reported. I'm happy that this won't be dragged out for 6 months. Maybe now we can get something done (maybe).

    ETA: And they just interrupted The Price is Right to air the concession speech! GODDAMMIT! (I'm on bedrest, and it's one of the few things that I'm enjoying right now.)

  • i heard this on NPR last night. i'm so happy to hear he has some grace.
  • MAYBE is right.....we have a very liberal governor, with a very conservative legislature. This might be a waiting game for another 2 years until we get redistricted and everyone is up for re-election again. It will be interesting to say the least!

  • Emmer said it from the beginning that he wouldn't block Dayton from taking the spot if it was clear through the re-count that he was the winner.  I hate the way the media spins things and says "he's considering a lawsuit" etc., and I hate that its just assumed that he's the driving force behind this.

    I think at this point he's just a republican puppet being manipulated by the MN GOP that chunky dude on Tv that runs the GOP wants to sue, and wants to just get retribution for 2008 and is going to use Emmer to get it, and I really don't think he's the type of person to push and I think he's doing the right thing conceding and that's probably what he wanted to do, but was told not to.

  • And yes I do realize that it was pretty clear who won the election but I also believe in following the order of the law, which did state if it was less then 1/2 a percentage point between them there would be an automatic re-count, so they did what was supposed to be done, the winner was certified and we can all move on with our lives that this won't be a drawn out process.
