Mayor R.T. Rybak picked up his first major organizational endorsement 
today, when the North Star Chapter of the Sierra Club endorsed him 
for re-election.


[TB]  When looking at who is endorsed by what organizations, we need to
remember that most organizations have a policy of endorsing supportive
incumbents no matter how good the challenger is.

More telling is to look at the answers each candidate gave to the
organization's screening questionnaires and in any interviews they may
conduct.  It may be that an endorse the incumbent policy may result in
endorsement of the candidate that isn't "best" on the issues.
