Just heard it on the news, huzzah! He's supposed to announce it Wed. morning. The Strib has a story, posted in such haste that they couldn't even spell properly:
Report: Emmer to concede Wednesday morning
Republican Tom Emmer will concede the Minnesota govenror's race to DFLer Mark Dayton on Wednesday morning, according to a KSTP-TV news report.
Full story here
At last report, Emmer had only 131 ballot challenges left after the vigorous pruning and you've-got-to-be-kidding-me process, so even if every one had been awarded to him, it wouldn't be enough.
I have to say, if this is indeed what happens tomorrow (and with Repugs involved, you can't believe any proposed gesture of decency is for real until you've actually seen it happen), I'll be forced to give Emmer some props for not being a complete Coleman (=dickweed) and dragging out the process for no legitimate reason.
The good news is that my beautiful neighborhood will no longer have the contemptible weasel Pawlenty living it. Property values will soar near the Governor's mansion!
On the other hand, it means no more of WineRev's daily reports, which is obviously a Bad Thing.
