If you were able to sit down and have a candid conversation w/ RT, I suspect 
you'd find numerous issues that he feels very strongly about and would like 
to accomplish, but hasn't been able to garner the necessary support for.  
Who's fault is that?

If RT were indeed your "typical" DFL politician, he would have been out door 
knocking for the endorsed  candidate last winter in North Minneapolis, 
instead of the people's eventual choice - Don Samuels.

If one understands anything at all about local politics, they would 
understand how politically suicidal it is to support a candidate running 
against a DFL endorsed candidate in Minneapolis.  RT did, because he had the 
guts to admit it was what he believed was right.  There were MANY DFL 
endorsed politicians that were called to and asked to do the same that 
didn't have the intestinal fortitude that RT showed.
