Yesterday, there were four top candidates for governor and two contested congressional races in the Republican primary. The DFL had just one contested race for state auditor. But once again, more Democrats voted than Republicans. More Republicans should have voted in yesterday’s primary and the lack of enthusiasm for Republican candidates should be a warning sign. ____ Jeff Johnson, the Republican endorsed candidate for governor won the primary, but only with 30 percent of the vote. In a competitive GOP primary for governor, Johnson received only 55,875 votes. For comparison, in a competitive DFL primary in 2010, Dayton received 182,738 votes. 7 out of 10 Republicans voted against the Republican endorsed candidate governor. This should be a warning sign for Republicans.-Michael Brodkorb
