to get elected delegates to the state convention.

"The Erins" are my kind of ticket but I have concerns about outstate voters and we can't win with just the metro and Duluth. Too many voters (everywhere, not just in rural areas) get suckered by whoever runs the slickest ad campaign. I've already heard the ticket referred as "urban liberals" and while that works for me, it's not going to play well in greater Minnesota.

I'm glad I have a couple months to fret over this and see how things look before the primary.
