I think this is a good forum for discussion.
As a democrat and politcal hack, I personally was really irritated to
receive a mailing from the State DFL in SD59B (University / NE) last
week. It was a mailing for Kahn, Pogemiller, Sabo et al. It said
paid for by the state DFL, Mike Erlandson, chair. It didn't even seem to
mention Gore. That would have at least given it some justification in
Nader country.
This seems like a reprehensible allocation of resources. The Nader voters
alone will be enough to reelect the full DFL slate in 59B where there were
3000 DFL primary voters and 193 Republicans.
SD53 (Shoreview, Vadnais Hts) did not receive a state mailing even
though it has 2 open seats with strong DFL candidates. What about
other races? Minneapolis needs to recognize it's role as a DFL base, not
a DFL fortress.
