Don Samuels doesn't respect the DFL endorsement process, what a suprise. I assume this means that he won't be seeking the endorsement should he run for re-election next year.
Dennis Plante Responds:
While structure, rules and protocol are all good things, taken in reasonable doses, there is a certain danger that exists for us all when we overlook strong personal convictions, beliefs and/or philosophies in relenting to them.
Why would the DFL Party "cut-off its nose to spite its face" so to speak, by NOT endorsing Don Samuels if he chooses to run for re-election and seek the DFL Party endorsement? Why make the same mistake - TWICE? Clearly, the registered DFL voters played a HUGE part in electing Council member Samuels during the last election in the 3rd.
Local political parties are starting to remind me of the line of ants in the movie "Bugs Life" that lose their way while headed to the grain pile with food, because a leaf falls from a tree and breaks the scent trail.
