Run under?  What does that mean Eric?  As you know there is only one major 
party affiliation that can be placed on the ballot.  And I have always claimed 
to be a DFLer. That's what it read on the ballot.  

When I ran for state senate I did seek and secure dual endorsement from the 
reform party (and also secured endorsement for the two DFLers that were running 
for Rep in my very Republican district). But what does this have to do with the 
discussion?

What do you mean it is a self serving lie?  I would never, never, never try to 
maneuver the DFL political process again to try and seek endorsement or win an 
election the way they think it has to be won.  NEVER!  If I every was crazy 
enough to think I wanted an elected office, I would think of how to do it by 
bypassing all of that.  

It has taken me years to recover from the stress and craziness of that last 
campaign. I lost wayyyyyy too much because of that.  Sure I had a mental 
illness.  I've had it all my life.  Never knew it.  Was able to handle it until 
then.  The stress from trying to work with the DFL was detrimental to my 
health. At least for me.    

I know how to take care of myself now.  Working with the disabled doesn't just 
mean how to get wheelchairs in and out of meeting areas.  It also means making 
your processes more open and user friendly.  Not closed and mired in routine 
and ritual.  

That's why you don't see me much at the meetings anymore.  Duh.  They make me 
ill.  How many mentally ill people do you have in the Disabled DFL Caucus or in 
the Affirmative Action?

So nah.  Like I said.  If I ever was crazy enough to seek an elected office I 
would never seek endorsement.  Couldn't.  I don't want to get sick and that 
process would certainly make me a LOT sicker.   So I would figure a way around 
it.  

But I am a DFLer and I don't care if the DFL regulars claim me or not.
