Question. Does a primary exist when there is no need for one? Mike Fratto Payne Phalen
>>> John Birrenbach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/09/2004 11:20:32 AM >>> Well, the GOP holder of the Sec of State office tried the best they could to keep Shepard off the ballot and their primary uncontested. Unfortunately the Supreme Court decided otherwise and is allowing Sheppard to remain on the ballot. Anyone notice the difference between the Kiffmeyer SOS office and the previous administrations handling of the duties? Despite the fact that he is subject to arrest, and from all news reports seems to be a pretty unsavory person, and is living in Rome, Italy he is gonna be on the ballot running in the primary against the endorsed GOP candidate. Kiffmeyer screws up again? So since the DFL has pretty much NO primary, will they still go to the polls and instead of voting for Betty, maybe go in and SNFU the GOP and vote for Sheppard, thus keeping the endorsed candidate off the general election? nah they wouldn't do that would they? :-) We got what a week to the primaries and no one is interested in any of the interesting things going on, or lack thereof, by so many of the localized campaigns? Still kinda wondering if Carlos (who is facing three others) hasn't seemed to be doing anything... I see Ortega is out there doing community meetings and stuff, good for him. Maybe they are saving all their energy for the final few weeks? -- Sincerely, John Birrenbach W 7th Neighborhood, St Paul MN === Political & Business Consulting === http://www.birrenbach.com/ ====================================== "Six years on the council has trained me to feign interest for long periods of time" Chris Coleman Jan 21, 2004 +++++++++++++++ Unless it is something you think I will find funny don't reply personally, if it's relevant to a post I made then post it to the list for everyone to see.
