Dana Houle Comments at Minnesota Progressive Report

Dana Houle, Tinklenberg's campaign manager answered questions about the upcoming 2010 6CD race in this post.

Some of the comments were about candidates not abiding by the endorsement.

Taxpaying Liberal is not happy about it:

I'll tell you who feels strongly about the endorsement since you're not from Minnesota,

It's the people who leave their home on a Tues night in the middle of winter to attend a caucus for 3 hours, Then the spend a full day on one of the first spring Saturdays to attend a convention, Then they spend another full Saturday at the district convention, Then they spend a lot of time on weekends and evenings working for the candidate they endorsed. After the election they still meet once a month or more until the cycle starts again. Most of them pay for the privilege.

I guess those are the DFLers who feel strongly about the endorsement.


I agree with Taxpaying Liberal, endorsement may not be important for the average voter, but party activists... the people who volunteer in campaigns, care a lot about endorsements for the reasons TL mentioned.

On a personal note, I don't see any point in blogging at Dump Bachmann if the opposition candidates spend more time and resources running against each other. It's a waste of my time.
