<dp> Because this is a municipal election for a council person and it's been mentioned that political connections are important, it'd be interesting for members of this list to come-up with the 10-12 most influential individuals residing within (or very close to) the boundaries of the 3rd ward and determine where these 10-12 individuals stood regarding candidate endorsement for this election. Afterall, it would seem that these 10-12 individuals would be both well-informed AND key in lobbying for future considerations in the ward, would it not?

>Martin Sabo is a mainstream DFLer, just like Olin Moore. If you think you can find some "self-made" immigrant who can do Sabo's job better than he has done it, show me. I don't know that much about Olin Moore, but the fact that he has connections that Don Samuels doesnt have has got to be the WEAKEST argument for supporting Don Samuels that I can think. This city needs all the connected it people it can get. You don't wait till you're sick to find a doctor, and you don't wait till you need connections to make sure you have them. A guy who understands the plight of the struggling is not as valuable as a guy who can help ameliorate those struggles. Thousands of people have gotten paying jobs through Sabo's efforts over the years. How many has Don Samuels helped employ?
