I recently looked at the online Mpls Star Tribune Voters Guide
http://www.startribune.com/news/metro/elections/returns/mskusm.html (via
the link on the E-democracy page).
I noticed a couple of statements there that appear to me to be false, or at
least very misleading.
Both Lucky Rosenbloom & La Shella Sims answer the question about
endorsements with "Not seeking endorsements".
Yet I clearly recall that La Shella Sims came to the DFL Convention and
sought the DFL party endorsement, placing her name in nomination, making a
speech asking for endorsement, and working the delegates in the hallway
asking for their votes. And I understand that Lucky Rosenbloom sought the
Republican endorsement, even had it for a while.
I suppose these candidates could argue that it is technically true that
they are "not seeking endorsements" right now; all the endorsements have
been given by now, and they didn't get any!
But this certainly seems like a false & misleading statement by these
candidates. You have to wonder about the rest of their statements.
