On gov-elect Dayton's docket: Pawlenty, troops, anti-poverty speech

No rest for the new governor-elect. After demurring slightly Wednesday, Mark Dayton stepped up and sent out his schedule for his first full day as Minnesota's next governor. On it, a meeting with Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a fundraiser for "Serving our Troops" and a speech at a "Minnesota without Poverty" meeting. Another way to look at it -- he's got a meeting with a Republican, an appearance at something non-partisan and a speech at something that appeals to his liberal base.
