Minnesota's contested governor's race finally has a winner as the GOP candidate conceded Wednesday.  Tom Emmer ended his bid for the governor's mansion from his home in Delano.  Emmer thanked supporters for helping him come within 87-hundred votes of electing "a common-sense conservative" to lead the North Star State.  State election workers were automatically forced to recount more than two-million ballots after Democrat Mark Dayton came out with a narrow point-five-percent lead over Emmer in the November 2nd gubernatorial election.  The state canvassing board was due to finish the recount today.  Dayton is a former U.S. senator and heir to the Dayton's department store fortune.  He will become Minnesota's first Democratic governor in more than 20 years.
