[TB]  Is there a difference between "not found 'acceptable' " and being 
found "not acceptable"?

Why should any incumbent be expected to make an abide by the endorsement 
pledge?  Yes, I understand it with an open seat or when the incumbent is a 
member of another party.  Rybak is an incumbent, we expect him to be on the 
ballot of he so desires.

Generally parties support their incumbents.  What has this guy done that 
would lead the party to support someone else?  Are they not happy with the 
what he has done to improve the city's budget mess?
