Someone will be disappointed tonight

Democrats say they're cautiously optimistic that Mark Dayton will win the race for governor.

Republicans say they're thinking Tom Emmer will win by two percentage points. Republican Tom Emmer's campaign manager Cullen Sheehan says it's good for them if voter turnout is below 65 percent.

Officials with both parties say they expect their respective candidates to do well in Minnesota's 1st, 7th and 8th Congressional Districts.

Everyone says, however, that it's going to be close. That means we could be waiting for results from Minnesota's 8th Congressional District again. Just like in the August primary. Just like in the 2008 U.S. Senate race.

Both parties are extremely confident. That means someone will be extremely disappointed in about six hours.
