Dayton renewed his call to tax the rich; GOP pointed to harm of long-term debt. The governor and legislative leaders worked into the evening in a last-ditch bid for resolution.

Please proof your headline, I think you meant "chance".

Everybody remain calm! I believe in you. I think we will all survive this shutdown just fine. We are more than government dependent drones. You can do it. I know you can. Open your mind to a life of self reliance.

Thank you, Governor Dayton, for standing up to the Republican tactics to ruin Minnesota. We support you 100%!

At least Dayton admits he loves socialism and marxism; wants to take money from the super rich through forced higher taxes and distribute the money to the lower income earners and goverment programs. Marx and Lenin would be proud!

Well, this had to happen. Gov Daytons' handlers told him what to do - he had no choice. To do otherwise would have entailed original thought - something the Gov is incapable of.

For the first time for any Minnesota governor in history, Dayton mentioned the notion of a shutdown in his state of the state address. So he's been looking forward to this shutdown, and planning for his shutdown for a long, long time.

Gov. Dayton, SHAME ON YOU!

Looks like the Gov made an offer that the Leg was willing to accept... and then he took it back. What's with that? A Governor Kelliher would have never ever done this.

Did Tony Sutton elect you, Republicans? No? The voters are going to remember this come November of '12. You're all going to rue this day, Repubs.
