Truthful?
Not exactly.
Bob Anderson IS the IP candidate, not Elwyn, who is Dean Barkley's choice.
However, Barkley or not the ballot will tell the truth - Bob Anderson will be there on your November ballot as the Independence Party candidate for Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District.
Why is this Tinklenberg man disrespectful of the truth?
Why does he hold himself out as something he is not? What does it say to you about the man? About his reliability?

I will email this link to the Anderson and Tinklenberg campaigns, per addresses on their respective websites. I will ask them to log on and add a comment to this post.
I believe that Bob Anderson may have a clear basis to file an unfair campaign practices complaint with the Federal Election Commission (the FEC) over this item misrepresenting actual candidate status.
That's up to Bob Anderson to decide. Both campaigns will be emailed.

Bob is NOT the Independence Party Candidate, he may be on the ballot line but he was denied endorsement by the delegates.
Elwyn received endorsement and has the support of the party delegates. Just because someone files under the ballot line doesn't mean they are the party candidate.
anon - The SOB declined to run on the IP ballot, where I agree, he belongs.
He chose to run DFL, where I feel he does not belong.
Both parties voted to endorse him.
So what?
He was reported to say he had no problem with the IP on its platform.
To me, that's a rejection of the DFL platform.
They differ.
Tink's trying a straddle. All things to all poeple.
However, Bob Anderson is the IP candidate. On the ballot. Pure and simple. If he declines to be IP candidate on the ballot he is not the candidate, whether Barkley, the wrestler, Jesus, whoever endorses him as their chum.
Ask the Secretary of State.
Get an AGO.
It's how it is.
If he'd have chosen to run IP, I would have no problem with Tinklenberg saying whatever he wants about IP.
Simple fact, he did not.
Regardless of whose hand he kisses, he chose to run DFL, not IP.
anon - Rembember Mark Dayton, and how he ran in the Senate primary against some bar owner from the Iron Range that the DFL for some strange and indiscernible reason endorsed?
Mark Dayton won the primary. Mark Dayton was the DFL candidate on the ballot. Joe Iron Range was not.
Mark Dayton won that election and went to the Senate - representing the DFL.
What part is confusing to you, anon?
Had Tinklenberg wanted to contest the IP primary against Bob Anderson, nobody would have stopped him - but the DFL might have objected and dropped him.
He made a choice. He can talk endorsement all he wants.
Bob Anderson is on the ballot. Bob was the only one registering with the Secretary of State to be there.
Bob Anderson is the candidate.
People who are distressed with the narrow choice - Michele Bachmann and all her faults, Elwyn Tinklenberg and all his; have a third choice this November, the IP candidate, Bob Anderson.
