Minnesota

Passion is not enough. One has to be effective and, yes, has the wisdom to select the battles. She has done a good job. If she runs in the primary she will get my vote.

It really bugs me that DFL chair, Martin, claims that running in the primary is "running against the party." No, he is objecting to "we, the people" selecting the candidates.

I hope that if Walz and Pawlenty win their primaries, that this will be the beginning of the death knell of the "abiding by the party endorsements." And to think that in many states many cannot participate in the primaries because of the blocks that the Republicans throw, like voter ID and shortening number of days for early voting.
