I attended the convention as a delegate. I voted to endorse Flanagan and Lee and was pleased that they were the only ones to be endorsed. I simply was not as impressed with the other candidates, with different reasons for each. None of those reasons, however, had anything to do with race or gender. === Nathan Hunstad CARAG Minneapolis, MN (651) 489-9107 -- Home PGP DH/DSS public key -- http://www.angelfire.com/mn/freakpower/nhpubkey.txt ________________________________________________ Do you Gonzo?! http://www.angelfire.com/mn/freakpower REMINDERS: 1.
