[Mpls] According to Marie Hauser

[Loki Anderson]

To be fair to Marie Hauser (who I would not be supporting if I lived in the Eighth Ward), she said that she was picturing those two park board candidates as they were all Labor endorsed candidates, not as three DFL endorsed candidates. The "game" as Dorie Rae puts it is in trying to figure out the meaning of having those pictures side by side and also the difference between DFL and DFLer.
 
I believe it is the intent of those who list DFL member and DFLer, to confuse the issue with regard to whether a candidate is endorsed or not. I agree that only endorsed candidates should be allowed to use the name of their political party on literature and campaign signage, but Minnesota statute and the courts do not agree. As long as the law is on the side of those wanting to use their self-professed politcal affiliation in their advertising, there's nothing anyone can do.

not follow the political vein.

I am beginning to think nonendorsed candidates need to clearly state party 
status..
and how many people in the masses know the difference between...DFL or 
DFLer?
Or is that the game?
