I concur. Of course, none of this has anything to do with
substantive municipal issues. Mr. Remington, of course, would not be
the first candidate to complain about campaign tactics as a means of
avoiding a debate on the real issues.
And, as I said before when R.T.'s campaign briefly raised the "Karl
Rove" analogy, nothing in Minneapolis politics today comes close to
what Rove has done. For example, discussing an endorsement block is
not the same as what Rove did in an Alabama judicial race, when he
put out anonymous fliers attacking his own candidate, fliers so
offensive they created a backlash for the "victim" of the attack (as
they were intended to do).
The real news here is how thin-skinned Mr. Remington appears to be --
a bad trait for a prospective Council Member given how thick the fur
flies around City Hall.

Also Mr. Remington accuses Mr. Persons of personal attacks and then
accuses
him of conducting a "Karl Rovian" campaign, which in most
Democrat's book is
about as low and personal as it goes.
Looks like a muddy summer in front of us and Mr. Remington's got a
