Neither is Hauser. Moreover, Hauser's campaign is the one in dire need
of help. Without the boost of the affiliation with DFL-endorsed
African American and gay candidates, Hauser may not have even made it
through the primary.
This is pure spite. Hauser worked harder than other candidates. I think
I got that piece of lit, but since I didn't know Froehlich was gay, that
would not have swayed me anyway. Hayden did have support from Schiff,
but since Schiff didn't do all that well in his own ward, his
endorsement may have been a hindrance rather than a help. (People do
talk, ya know, and what folks in the ninth had to say about Schiff was
not anything nice.)
b) Hauser was simply trying to help Labor endorsed candidates.
Flaws: Rochelle Berry Graves was not pictured or mentioned, yet Berry
Graves is Labor endorsed (as is Annie Young).
Come on! Annie Young is a Green. No DFLer is going to put her on their
lit, labor endorsed or not. In the piece in City Pages, Hauser said she
'wanted the good PB members to get through' [the primary]. That may
explain her choices.
I'm suggesting that Hauser made a dumb mistake--not that there are
necessarily any smart mistakes.
