Again, THis leads me to question what are Lucky's motives for running? It is obvious that he was endorsed for the Senate, last election he ran for City Council, and now he is running for School Board. As I stated to Matthea privately, I applaud Lucky's courage, but courage doesn't make one a good candidate nor does it explain ones motives. As it stands, if I were required to vote between two candidates for school board, say Michael Atherton and Lucky Rosenbloom, I would vote for Michael. Can anyone appreciate the irony there? Why would I vote for Michael in this completely hypothetical situation? I would vote for Michael because I know that Michael cares, in his own special way, about the education of some young people (although I do not agree with any of his strategies for addressing the needs of young people). Lucky, however, seems to be attempting to carve out either personal political space/power for himself or political space for Black Republicans.
Thank God I don't have to vote for either of them. -Brandon Lacy Campos -Powderhorn Park >Matthea wrote: > As a Republican running against an >> incumbent DFLer in the highest DFL indexed district >> in the state, again, I think he has courage.
