What Dayton got Right!

Dayton

  • Self financed
  • Spot on Political Messaging to the Exact Constituency
    • Focus on Seniors
    • Focus on NE MN (Iron Range)
    • He even picked a "Ranger" for Lt. Governor
  • 'Known Political Entity'
    • High Name ID
  • “Tax the Rich” Closest concept to budget solution
    • Easy to understand
    • Populist Msg
    • Personally / Politically Expedient
  • He told what he would protect…Education
  • Connected tax increases to education
    • A concept that works for most Minnesotan's
    • "Ill gladly pay more taxes if it means a better education"

    • This analysis presented as what Dayton got right to win a majority of DFL Primary voters and does not represent any indication as to whether Practical Politician or its authors agree with the content or viability of said arguments, philosophies, or political rhetoric.
