	Go Ahead
		Such was the case with Tuesday night's debate, which featured the DFL candidate Roger Moe, Republican Tim Pawlenty, Tim Penny of the Independence Party and Green Ken Pentel (or as Joe McCarthy would call him, Pink Ken Pentel).
		What eventually occurred to me, amid the rote recitation of standard answers and half hearted attempts at mudslinging (and I'm describing what was going on in my living room) is that proximity and presence does matter in one's valuation of a candidate as legitimate - even to the exclusion of what they're actually saying.
		Just the fact that Ken Pentel was sitting in a suit next to the Senate Majority leader, and uttering big words, using correct syntax and grammar, gave him instant credibility as a candidate.

		Sure, I've caught a lot of hell the past few weeks with this endorsement, because Pentel is a "spoiler", and a vote for him will guarantee that crypto-Carthaginian nutcase Republican Tim Pawlenty will win the election, shut down the University of Minnesota, and build more highways.
		Ken Pentel is genuinely angry and vigilant about housing, education, and transportation, and he's willing to wade into the muck and piss, holding off the powerful interests in order to help the regular working folks whose lives are crimped and plastered by strictures of rent and shitty public shools.
		Even if he doesn't win, a vote for him will be a signal to the waffly Democrats that they better take on some of the Green Party's platform if they hope to win again.
