I noticed McLaughlin was already on his way out at that time. I also noticed
RT Rybak and Farheen Hakeem still there meeting and talking with folks when
I left several hours later.
When I arrived at the parade line-up area at 9 am Peter was
already there and talking to folks while R.T. had yet to arrive.
As an aside to Dyna, I'd have to ask why would it be necessary to have a
sign or T-shirt to participate in a parade contingent? I've paraded numerous
times in campaigns without either. Parade contingents are not about signs.
They're about giving the people who show up an opportunity to show support
for their candidate.
You need to have something unifying to show the size of your
candidate's support as well as signs, etc. to communicate the
candidate's name and message.
I'm really surprised that after months of questioning and raising what I
thought were legitimate concerns over McLaughlin's campaign plans, tactics
and approach, you would put all that aside over a parade? Sheesh...
I had committed beforehand to do the parade for R.T. When
they had no signs or other visuals available to put on the sidecar
and weren't even sure if they could use the sidecar they effectively
released me from that commitment. I was then able to follow my
conscience and support Peter McLaughlin.
