I've personally delivered my lit piece to over half of senate district
62 in the last week. (Just taking a quick break before I head back out
into the rain.) It's gotten a terrific response from some voters who
appreciate that I go into the issues in such depth. (My piece is
essentially an 8-page newspaper full of details about my proposals for
transit, drug policy, health care, election reform, and other areas.
Nice contrast to the usual 1/2 page flyer with pretty pictures and a
few slogans.) (If anyone outside the district wants a copy, just email
me and I'll mail you one *after* the election.)
>From what I've observed, the Minneapolis Schools referendum (which no
one really seems to oppose) has been flyering the hardest, followed by
the DFL legislative candidates, followed by me, followed by flyers for
Dayton and Gore. (That's just in this week; I believe IP candidate Mary
Mellen in 62A and Green candidate Holle Brian in 62B have done quite a
bit previously.)
I've seen virtually nothing from the Republicans, except for a few Kelly
Bailey flyers. (Senate #62)
The piece I personally found most offensive is the one asking "Who's Paul
Wellstone voting for for President?". He's just hurting the dwindling
remains of his own credibility.
