Disclosure: I'm a DFL delegate and an unabashed friend and supporter of Rep. Scott Dibble who is seeking the 60th District Senate seat being vacated by Myron Orfield.
I just received my second piece of literature from his opponent, Catherine Shreves. Conspicuously absent from her piece was any mention of her affiliation with the DFL party, from which I understand she is seeking an endorsement. Earlier today I scanned a Progressive Minnesota questionnaire Shreves filled out. One question asked specifically about whether she would challenge a DFL-endorsed opponent in the primary. Her answer was guarded--"I do not intend to run against the dfl endorsement."(Of course I don't intend to eat the rest of oreos left in the jar at bedtime tonight either, but I might do that. In fact, it's a good bet.) This doesn't feel like a serious effort to woo delegates, which is historically the real battle in this part of town. It appears more like a campaign that has abandoned that strategy and is getting ready to go to the primary. Niel Ritchie East Harriet __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
