_________UPDATE__________
You have to like Dayton because he is as unlike Tim Pawlenty as one could be. Rybak reminds me of Pawlenty, in "the other party." And for Rybak, the Obama coat tails have worn thin, given how Obama has squandered goodwill and hope among progressives.
We keep waiting for change.
And it is 100% understandable and something to be sympathetic toward, the galling frustrations Dayton had to feel in the Senate. Seeing how those clowns bungled around the healthcare thing, bloviating and showing egos out of line with capabilities, serving special interests, Nelson, Lieberman, those of that kind, it is no hard task to understand exactly what pissed Dayton off about having to deal with that kind of people and that mentality and mind set day in and day out.
As governor, it's the driver's seat, not less, and there is no way Dayton would abuse the public trust attaching to it the way Pawlenty has. Dayton would be as different from Pawlenty as day is from night.
Dayton would be quite a good choice as governor. Other DFL candidates would also, so the choice is not easy. But Dayton is one of the more appealing options, should the DFL in its unpredictable ways, end up endorsing a lesser luminary than Mark Dayton.
"Tax the rich" is sound policy, as is his favoring single payer along the lines John Marty has proposed. Dayton has the courage to not equivocate, and we know he's not in it for the money or to serve some hidden agenda. What you see is what you get.
He says, "Tax the rich," and you can believe that if elected he would devote his energies in that direction.
It's the complete opposite of promising "Change" and then not making any.
