5. I'm going to caucus for Marty for governor

I don't CARE if the conventional wisdom is that he has no chance of winning.

I refuse to meekly vote for Matt Entenza or whoever the DFL insiders think should be the next governor.

We should all go and vote for the candidate WE REALLY WANT and the hell with the insiders.

If there's any statement that makes me crazy it's, "I really like Candidate X, but s/he can't win, so I'm going to vote for Candidate Y, who was endorsed by (Some Bigwig)."

It should be a no-brainer that you don't get what you want if you never ask for it.
