Reply #26: The problem is Entenza's money and I fear the DFL leadership will back him

[dflprincess]

not only because he can finance his own campaign but because they need his wife to keep donating. Beating him will take some real grass roots orgainizing and a good turn out at the caucuses for other candidates (or uncommitted). This is where the caucus system may work for us - a candidate can win them with less money as long as his/her supporters show up. If we only had a primary Entenza could buy it with a slick advertising campaign.

This is good article I just wish the authoer had mentioned that one reason the DFL keeps losing is that the governor's race has been a three way contest. Ventura only got about 35% of the vote and the most Pawlenty got was 45% - the majority of Minnesotans have not been voting for who winds up in the governor's office.
