Draft Alan Page? Other than beating the Republicans can anyone tell me why?
1. Alan Page was a great football player for a Viking team that won a great deal.
2. He used his popularity from that time to get a position on the Minnesota Supreme Court
WM: The thing I thought most impressive about Justice Page is that he stood up to both Dems and Repubs by challenging the attempt to squeeze him out of running for judge. It was on the order of James Meredith breaking the color bar at Ole Miss. I like his respect for the Constitution and all his attempts to bring fairness into the judicial system. Course, I don't care for football.
