Anointed
To all the sycophants who complain about DFL "queenmaking", the Star Tribune sez:
The only contenders remaining are Hennepin County Attorney Amy Klobuchar and veterinarian Ford Bell on the DFL side and Republican Sixth District U.S. Rep. Mark Kennedy, who was anointed early on by GOP leaders and who faces only token opposition from retired minister Harold Shudlick. (emphasis mine)The DFL has had and maintains a healthy endorsement battle in this race. Patty Wetterling had a long run unimpeded by DFL or national Democratic leadership, and no one has stopped Ford Bell from running, despite his longshot status. Hypocrisy from the Republican noise machine, however, continues.
