Blueman has the thread going, this link.
It's his and rather than excerpting, I gave the link, go and have a look.
It seems the DFL regulars in MN 6 have too little respect for progressive sentiment.
I believe that there is too big a DFL segment that favors Elwyn Tinklenberg because of a view he would ask "How High?" if getting a call saying "Jump!" from the Minneapolis Central Labor Council AFL-CIO.
That might be viewed as Elwyn's highest virtue, from that DFL segment. Beholdeness. If there is such a word.
My feeling, if the progressives are ever going to get respect they will have to earn respect. That likely means that if the Elwyn Tinklenberg cram down succeeds, this November when a progressive gets to that line of the ballot having a choice between Michele Bachmann and Elwyn Tinklenberg, the progressive "stays home" for that line. Meaning leaving that line blank. And if it means Tink going down in flames because of such decision-making, bless him and the people with him behind the cram down.
It might get their attention, in progressive ways. It might take that to move the otherwise intransigent things in the way of progressivism in the MN 6 DFL.
