Here's the first in a series of ten reasons to vote for each candidate. This first blog is ten reasons to vote for Mark Dayton.
1. Mark Dayton has four decades of public service experience. He's the only candidate with this many years of solid DFL experience.
2. He truly cares about the people of Minnesota and about making this a better state. He has shown time and time again that he puts Minnesotans before any financial or personal gain.
3. Minnesota needs a progressive governor. Mark Dayton has been a part of progressive politics since the days he protested the Viet Nam War.
4. He has a history of being completely honest. In the case of Mark Dayton, an honest politician is not an oxymoron.

6. He can relate to people across all lines, including minority cultures, GLBT, the intellectual community, people living at the poverty level, and everywhere in between. Mark Dayton can connect with all Minnesotans. He's ready, willing and able to go to work to make this a better state.
7. He served as a Commissioner under Rudy Perpich and thus learned how to bring jobs to Minnesota. Perpich would go anywhere and talk to anyone to bring in jobs. Dayton is eager to do the same.

I'm confused by the Lucy/Charlie Brown cartoon. Why is this relevant?
ReplyDeleteThat's a different blog post. They are separated by dates. Each blog post has it's own link but are also viewable altogether by the common link. Did I post the wrong link?
ReplyDeleteOh, I get it, you mean the one of Lucy snatching the football out from under Charlie Brown. I thought you meant all the cartoons I posted earlier this morning. I just like the Peanuts gang.
