Martha, I speak in support of Olin Moore. But I speak only for myself. I speak in support of Olin Moore because he is the candidate that best personifies my values and those of the Democratic Farmer-Labor Party.Posts from Jason Goray and Susan Maricle raised a very interesting question to my mind. Who speaks for Olin Moore?
I criticize Don Samuels' positions on the issues, but I have the highest respect for him as a person. I am saddened when a person that calls themselves a Democratic Farmer-Labor candidate would insult working folks by refusing to take their campaign printing to a union shop, especially when one is located in the community.
And I am further saddened that folks that call themselves DFLers support a candidate who insults working folks as Don Samuels has. On another list I'm on their is some discussion on the need to return the DFL to it's core value, representing working people. I support that effort, and will work diligently to elect a candidate that represents the DFL's core constituency, working folks. That candidate is Olin Moore.
Agreed- I'd also like to know just who is responsible for Don Samuels' campaign's questionable tactics.Generally, I'm a list lurker (and not terribly faithful at that), but the 3rd ward race is vitally important to the city as a whole. Now that the primary has distilled an exciting array of candidates down to two, it seems especially appropriate for campaign spokespersons to identify themselves upfront. The Samuels campaign seems to have done this with posts that are challenging but respectful of the candidates and of democratic debate.
Again, I disagree with Don Samuels' on the issues where he has strayed from the DFL's principles. I do not represent the Moore campaign, and my opinions are entirely my own.Yet posts from Moore supporters attack Samuels personally. Do these folks -- Vanessa and Dyna -- speak for the Moore campaign? Does Moore endorse their views and methods?
peace,
