Although the election turnout was pathetic, as in any election the only question is “who” shows up to vote ? Assuming that DFLers were serious about selecting their candidate, was there any mischief generated by MN-GOP cross-over voters ?

Dave Mindeman has written another thoughtful piece (on the MNPact website) on the endorsement process and the primary.

Please view the images at the bottom of this post, and then ask yourself, “Why aren’t the other two Democratic candidates seen in pictures like these?” I’ve often noticed that women are harder on other women than they are on men. Minnesota has a great gubernatorial candidate in Margaret Anderson Kelliher, and I am glad [...]

With four months to go and a primary election to win, anything can happen … yet the vector is turning in MAK’s favor. First off, let’s commend the Strib for endorsing a candidate on [...]
I have it on good authority that the Entenza campaign is upset about Margaret Anderson Kelliher’s KSTP / League of Women voters debate comment about “astroturfing.” Margaret said: “I’m proud that I have 3,500 contributors to this campaign,” Kelliher countered. “Matt, the kind of campaign you’ve run is Astroturf, the kind that you buy. We [...]

Tom Scheck recently covered the KSTP/ League of women voters debate here http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2010/08/01/dfl-debate-writeup/ I joined Gather.com to discuss Tom’s post (no comments at bottom of his post allowed, I noticed) Here’s what I said on Gather.com: I was disappointed in Tom’s reaction.
