If one understands anything at all about local politics, they would understand how politically suicidal it is to support a candidate running against a DFL endorsed candidate in Minneapolis. RT did, because he had the guts to admit it was what he believed was right. There were MANY DFL endorsed politicians that were called to and asked to do the same that didn't have the intestinal fortitude that RT showed.
WM: When folks are tired of the current mayor, council member, senator, etc. and the up-and-coming politician can present him/herself as credible, then a DFLer can carry off an election without endorsement. It's also the case of the next generation pushing out the 'old line' DFLers, if I can use such a term. I imagine it happens in all other parties as well; however, I have no experience of them.
