[Mpls] Park Board Endorsements

[Jim Bernstein]

Bob Fine did not have DFL endorsement!  We went two ballots - starting
after 10 p.m. as I recall - at the DFL city convention and there were
fewer than 90 delegates left.  I had 51% and Mr. Fine had 49% and it was
clear that among the remaining delegates there was not going to be any
significant movement so there was no endorsement. 

It took Walt Dziedzic three ballots to reach the 60% - against Peter
Vevang who had just announced he was running that morning.  Although Mr.
Dziedzic got the endorsement, it wasn't exactly a resounding one!

Its that very same insular party apparatus that allows the Walt
Dzeidzics
and Bob Fines of the world to secure relatively pain-free DFL
endorsements.
