Horner was endorsed by his former boss, Durenberger, as well as former congressman and gubernatorial candidate Tim Penny.〔(Tom Horner )〕 On May 9, 2010, Horner received the endorsement of the Independence Party for Governor. He faced Rob Hahn in the August 10 primary election, winning by a wide margin, and was therefore the ballot in the state's November 2 general election. He gained the endorsement of two former Republican Governors, Arne Carlson and Al Quie. For supporting Horner, 18 Republicans, including Durenberger, Carlson, and Quie, were banned from participating in the Republican Party of Minnesota for two years. Other endorsements of Horner include onetime DFL U.S. Senate candidate Mike Ciresi on October 19, the ''Star Tribune'', and the ''Duluth News Tribune''. Horner received 11.9% of the vote.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Statewide Results for Governor )〕 Independence Party candidates generally draw votes both from Republican- and DFL-leaning voters, but according to the ''St. Paul Pioneer Press'', more Republicans voted for Horner than for the Independence candidate in the previous gubernatorial election. "Many Republicans apparently voted for Horner and then cast ballots for GOP legislative candidates," costing the Republican Party the Governor's office in a year they won both houses of the legislature. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tom Horner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
