Watch replays on The UpTake of this morning’s Minnesota governor candidates’ education debate. GOP candidate Tom Emmer pledged not to cut education spending if elected. Meanwhile, DFL’er Mark Dayton says that funds are being mismanaged when schools have to weather a per-pupil funding cut of $1,300, calling that a “serious disrespect” to educators. You can also catch President Obama’s news conference on the economy.

John Kline inferred during a “Take Back America” rally this week.
Finally, does Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty share GOP candidate Tom Emmer’s view that the state’s $6 billion deficit doesn’t really exist?
