Hey! My last name starts with "C" and I gave money to Peter McLaughlin. Why wasn't I mentioned? What am I, chopped liver? I have no connection to the Twins, Northwest Airlines, nor any (formal) connection to any bars, nor am I a developer, but can't I be old guard? Am I too young? Can't a GenX'er be old guard? Or is it because I supported Rybak in 2001? This whole phrase old guard sounds like when Al Gore cornered W in a debate about social security and W replied that it sounded like fuzzy math. Raise legitimate issues? No! You're just old guard. It's smart marketing to marginalize your competition but in this case, probably a mistake. I mean, a candidate can criticize another candidate, but to insult the entire group of supporters is like calling consumers who use a competitive brand stupid. They'll never want to do business with you. Oops. Nikki Carlson Linden Hills GenX wing of the Old Guard REMINDERS: 1. Be civil! Please read the NEW RULES at http://www.e-democracy.org/rules.
