Last weekend’s Tax Day Tea Party rallies in Iowa and South Carolina featured Tim Pawlenty and Michele Bachmann, respectively, and by all accounts, attendance at the events was off.

As Minnesota faces a likely recount between gubernatorial candidates Mark Dayton and Tom Emmer, memories surface of the prolonged recount in the state’s 2008 U.S. Senate race between Sen. Al Franken and Norm Coleman. As in 2008, a delayed decision on the governor’s race would have wide repercussions at both the local and national levels. The state legislature, which flipped to the GOP on Tuesday, could quickly pass conservative bills while a Democratic governor waits in limbo. All the while, Republican Gov.
