DFL-er Mark Dayton is up by about 100,000 in the most recent voting data, but don't read too much into that.
The early Dayton lead reflects big leads from the metro area where 82 percent of precincts in Hennepin County and 52 percent in Ramsey County have already reported.
"This is expected hard core Dayton strength," says the Humphrey Institute's Larry Jacobs. "He's up about 100,000 but it's because his (geographical) strength is reporting. You expect him to be up by 100,000."
