Ed Felien has one fact wrong: the Mpls/5th District Green Party declined to 
endorse RT (or any other candidate) for mayor in 2001.  Lisa McDonald, RT and 
Jeffrey Booty sought our endorsement.  This is not to say that individual 
Greens did not support RT.  I voted for him, both in the primary and the 
general.

I disagree with one other comment of Ed's: "the Greens will have to seek DFL 
Ward endorsement."  Some Greens may choose to seek DFL endorsement, just as 
some DFLers have sought Green endorsement in the past.  But Dean and Natalie 
proved that we don't "have to" do anything.  I have faith that Green candidates 
will make these decisions based not on necessity but based on our (small 'd') 
democratic principles.
