This election is very rushed and involves candidates with limited funding.
Maybe instead of giving them more work with your tests and questionaires and
such, you should do a little research yourself and then endorse a candidate.
It takes time to write a questionaire, why not spend it
Dyna,
Very interesting post, and a bit revisionist I think. You mention how only 3
candidates screened with Stonewall and OM is the only candidate to have won the
approval of the Stonewall Caucaus, yet during the time of that three week ago

As I look at the ward on the map, it occurs to me
that the CM comes from east of the river because
the NE voters turn out on election day. Maybe
the North voters consider downtown politics too
boring to spend their time on it. That's why the
poorer parts of America have so little influence.

know.)

Very interesting post, and a bit revisionist I think.
Not at all, I'm applying the same principles now that I did
to criticize the endorsement process- we need an fair process to pick
a council member of the highest character.

The unions deliver the DFL votes. Then the Council delivers our money to
the unions.
That's why the $2,500 boiler costs $30,000.
That's why the $20 million Stone Arch Apartments costs $33 million.
That's why rents are $1,000 rather than $500.
That's why we subsidize building stuff we don't
