Stonewall DFL did not find anyone "unacceptable". The caucus
members who screened in this ward endorsed Brian Herron and made no
official statement about any other candidates. They certainly did not
label anyone as "unacceptable"!

Well, he hardly needed to mention it, since at the very time he
was making that speech the Stonewall DFL sample ballot, with him listed on
it, was being passed out to the audience!

Anybody who's really interested in going over this yet again (it
was discussed once previously on this list, back in March) can look at
webpage http://www.scc.net/~t-bonham/sample99.jpg , which shows the 1999
Stonewall DFL sample ballot, with Catherine Shreves name clearly visible on it.
Tim Bonham, 12th Ward
