It seems that the discussion about the 6th Ward convention is missing
what should be the big story. Besides the longstanding questions of the
emphasis on caucus system because of the small number of participants,
it appears that the 6th Ward convention has now raised questions about
whether the process itself is even open or democratic. I have now heard
from a few corroborating sources that even though Dean Zimmerperson was
nominated by one or more delegates, the leadership refused to allow him
to speak! So anyone who does not meet the DFL party hack purity test is
not allowed to compete for the DFL endorsement? I will not rush to
judgment since i was not there, but i am anxious to hear explanations.
