Ending hours of uncertainty, Margaret Anderson Kelliher conceded the DFL governor's primary election to Mark Dayton late Wednesday morning.

She said in a statement that she had "offered him my full support ... Today we will come together as DFLers. We will unite behind Mark Dayton."

Twenty-four years since a DFLer was elected as Minnesota's governor, party activists had struggled this morning to unify as the general election campaign began.

A DFL unity rally that had been schedule for 11 a.m. never happened, but soon after 11, Kelliher issued her endorsement of Dayton.
