I think that the Mayor's endorsement is fantastic. It was also great that joining him today were: Hennepin County Commissioner Mark Stenglein, City Council Member Barret Lane, former candidates Valdis Rozentals (Republican Party), Trish Schilling (Independent), and Brother Shane Price (Green Party). We had a great event, lots of enthusiastic support of over 75 volunteers taking to the streets, covering lots of territory with Don's message.
The only downside of the whole day was hearing about the pressure being exerted by high-level party leaders to discourage people from endorsing Don or worse to get people who have supported Don to withdraw that support. It reminds me of the time in the 2001 election when big labor leaders were standing outside the door of RT Rybak's post-primary press conference trying to strongarm council candidates and legislators into not endorsing RT.
