In the mayor's race Rybak was not found "acceptable" by SDFL (snip). An acceptable rating by the caucus is perquisite to endorsement. McLaughlin was found acceptable and endorsed.
I assume Rybak did not make an abide by DFL endorsement pledge this time. Did McLaughlin make that pledge?
[TB] Is there a difference between "not found 'acceptable' " and being found "not acceptable"?
Why should any incumbent be expected to make an abide by the endorsement pledge? Yes, I understand it with an open seat or when the incumbent is a member of another party. Rybak is an incumbent, we expect him to be on the ballot of he so desires.
Generally parties support their incumbents. What has this guy done that would lead the party to support someone else? Are they not happy with the what he has done to improve the city's budget mess?
