Morning Edition talks with Dayton, Horner and Emmer

MPR's Cathy Wurzer talked with Democrat Mark Dayton, Independence Party candidate Tom Horner and Republican Tom Emmer.

Dayton took a cautious approach to his victory - praising both Margaret Anderson Kelliher and th DFL Party. It's a clear signal he knows he needs them to rally behind his campaign. Dayton also defended his tax hike plan as a better alternative to Emmer's plan.

Emmer says Dayton is offering a plan of tax increases while he's offering tax cuts and spending cuts. He again declined to offer any specifics on how he'll erase a budget deficit.

Here's the interview with all three candidates:
