Sorry, was trying to clarify a racial assertion brought up earlier by another member.
My earlier list wasn't meant to be complete, but highlighted the most newsworthy items IMHO: the two endorsed newcomers and the two spurned incumbents. I'm glad another scribe offered the complete list.
PS If DFLers really didn't ponder the racial implications of their choices, the devil must be dusting off his snowblower down under.
This result improves the chances for Republican David Dayhoff. Dayhoff is clearly running as a moderate Republican in the Arne Carlson tradition - not a Bachmann/Quist/LaVoi clone.

Saying creationism deserves equal time with the theory of evolution in the classroom is like saying I deserve equal time with Pavarotti at the Sydney Opera House.
