John Choi takes lead in Ramsey County Attorney contest

Halfway through convention season, the Ramsey County Attorney race is starting to take shape - and John Choi's message is resonating with DFL delegates. With a little over 180 possible delegates identified, DFLers are over halfway to selecting the 304 delegates that will endorse for county attorney. While the endorsement battle for the governor's office has not resulted in a clear-cut leader, John has established himself as the frontrunner in the race.

At this point in the race, two key indicators are strongly in Choi's favor -- the numbers of "named" delegates and "superdelegates."  While they each make up a fraction of all delegates, both categories demonstrate the general support a candidate has at a convention. Currently, John has earned 30 named delegates, compared to 6 for all of his opponents combined, and he holds a 12 to 2 advantage in the superdelegate count.

John's leadership has attracted a team of long-time DFL activists and lawyers who have earned a reputation for highly-organized, well-run efforts. Heading into this weekend, John and his team show no signs of slowing down. For more on John's experience and innovative leadership, visit www.votejohnchoi.com.

Historically Bipartisan Bills are Bad!

by: Grace Kelly

Mon Oct 05, 2009 at 14:54:53 PM CDT

At the annual Bruce Vento Dinner, last night, Congresswoman Betty McCollum rocked the room with her speech on healthcare, with statements like:
Republicans in Congress are the party of profits, not working people. And when I say
profits, I don't mean Old Testament "prophets" -I am talking about corporate profits. They are fighting for the CEOs and the profiteers, notregular folks who can't afford to fill theirprescription or even go to see a doctor.

You know there is a lot of talk about how Democrats need to reach out to Republicans and work for a "bipartisan" health care bill. I am sick and tired of talk of a bipartisan  health care bill - that's just a plan for less health care for people in need and more profits for corporations driven by greed. Since I've been in Congress there have been a number of historic bipartisan bills -historically bad!

Woohoo, my representative is getting tough! Full speech below the fold!
