		When Minnesota Republican Party chairman Ron Carey first dubbed the DFL “The Party of Ellison” after the September 12 Primary, it was just one last feeble attempt to suggest that Keith Ellison was a candidate to be ashamed of.
		The article explains that indispensable services for vulnerable citizens are being curtailed at the hand of the DRA, leading to higher property taxes and near abandonment for America's most impoverished.

	DFL remains obstructionist - Minnesota Daily
		The DFL obstructionism wouldn't be nearly as disturbing if the Minnesota public were not so clearly in favor of a vote and the amendment itself.
		Regardless of whether DFL leadership finds the issue a distraction, the state statistics, public debate and constituent support indicate that the same-sex marriage debate is much more than a political sideshow to the people of Minnesota - the same people the DFL politicians purport to represent.
		Unfortunately, DFL leadership appears to see the issue as one to be decided by an unelected, unaccountable and elite body of nine.

		But while her platform, which focuses on four issues: sustainable economics, living wages, affordable housing and an anti-racist approach to public safety, may not differ extensively from that of her DFL challengers, there is one issue that clearly sets them apart: The Stadium.
		Perhaps it’s her age or her idealism showing, but it seems clear that DFL support of the stadium is a deliberate nod to developers who influence public policy and can make or break political careers.
		While I respect the pulse's endorsement of the Green Party candidates and the advocacy of their issues, the sections of the article dealing with the living wage law and the PM endorsement of Chris Coleman do not tell the whole story.

		The inner metro DFL is largely immune from the political fallout of pushing gun control, due to heavily left-leaning constituents, but outside the central metro it is a very different world.
		If the DFL keeps the Senate and returns the same anti-gun crowd to dominate the relevant Senate committees, then we will know that this change of heart was not sincere.
		However, gunnies in MN will be forming some sort of committee for the '06 elections to try to defeat the antigunners of both parties.

		Observers of the process said that Jax certainly cut a sympathetic figure with DFL leadership, and during her oversight of the Department Senate Democrats had little to protest.

		His key role in the merger of the state's Democratic and Farmer-Labor parties into the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) enabled him to line up important labor supporters in the Twin Cities and across the state and to secure direct assistance from Democratic State Chairman Elmer Keim and, through Kelm, Democratic National Party Chairman Robert Hannegan.
		His statewide efforts on behalf of the Roosevelt-Truman ticket in 1944, his well-publicized role in creating the DFL Party, and his close association with Robert Wishart and other local labor leaders all stamped him initially as a friend of organized labor.
		Upon his inauguration, despite his campaign emphasis on consensus politics, an influential labor organ named him a "voice" for unionized labor in city government, pointing out that he was a card-carrying member of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).
