Well so much for convention, instead let's talk about ethics and fair play. The Greens won fair and square and now the DFL wants to get them out of office anyway they can; as in forcing early elections. I suppose that is the convention: politics by any means necessary. All I can say is I sure hope I can find a job that gets me out of this state. Louisiana might be an improvement.
