With all due respect to you, I don't think the issue
is one of holding someone in contempt. I think Annie
Young is a fine person and I have supported her for
DFL endorsement in the past. However, her decision to
support Nader last year and apparently to support
Cameron Gordon for City Council in the 2nd Ward this
year (she was quoted in the Southeast Angle newspaper
at a campaign event for him) clearly shows a lack of
continued loyalty to the DFL Party.
As much as you repect her conscience in supporting who
she wants, others have the same right to vote against
her for the same reason. As you said, it's a personal
choice.
