Okay, this is waaaaay off the mpls issue dictate, but
since Jordan asked....in 1980 the Liberal Party of New
York endorsed incumbent Senator Jacob Javits against
Republican, Conservative and Right to Life party
endorsed candidate Alphonse D'Amato and Democratic
candidate Elizabeth Holtzman. Thanks to that split in
the progressive/liberal voting block, D'Amato became a
United States Senator and stayed in office for 18
years. Shows the effectiveness of third party
movements doesn't it, bubby?
Okay, back to Minneapolis stuff....
