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.
