John Kerry, the original "flip-flopper."

As the election cycle heats up, conservatives are trying to paint Gov. Mark Dayton as a flip-flopper.

He's waffled on medical marijuana, MNsure, and now, he's allegedly talking out both sides of his mouth when it comes to Minnesota's minimum wage. (Dayton's supporters say his views are nuanced, not contradictory.)
