I just want to clear up any misunderstanding. The most immediate contest on the schedule is the March 1 DFL precinct caucuses; I'm asking for the candidate info so I can best inform our readers who may participate. I think that during my tenure as editor, the Journal has been quite good at giving other parties' candidates serious coverage. For example, anytime someone announces for a race in our coverage area, they get ink no matter what their party. We will of course cover other parties' nominating battles when/if they develop. Right now, though, the DFL contest comes first, thus the request. If any non-DFLer knows something we missed, or wants to talk to me about coverage, please feel free to call me at 436-4371 or email me at this address or [EMAIL PROTECTED] (DFLers can, too; we don't discriminate <grin>.) That will work for Skyway News, too. David Brauer Kingfield Editor, SW Journal & Skyway News REMINDERS: 1. Be civil! Please read the NEW RULES at http://www.e-democracy.org/rules.
