You seem to want to fight the same battle over and over again. You need to get over it. The t-shirts were purchased from Seven Corners - a union print shop. Period. Terri's little scheduler wears imported jeans and imported tennis shoes while complaining about a t-shirt made in Honduras. The economy is all of those things - not just a t-shirt. His campaign recognizes it - and more. Let's talk about creating jobs in the US - not just making t-shirts. Your inability to move forward makes me feel for you. It's time for Terri to do the right thing and drop out. Yep, WFIMY. You seem to want to fight the same battle over and over again. You need to get over it.

With the economy being our number one concern, it seems ludicrous to say buying shirts manufactured in these places is a democratic value. I am frankly embarrassed that anyone in our party would promote the use of sweatshops! How are we going to help the unemployment rate or promote working wages when DFLers put on these shirts. If a real democratic candidate was given shirts that were not manufactured in the U.S.A. they would never see the (public) light of day. The fact that Madia and his campaign do not recognize this, validates my position that they are not really democrats and Madia is still the hard-core republican he was while at the University of Minnesota!

Where did you get your stats? Our 2008 caucus in SD 42 alone was 4-1 over the pubbie side. Those numbers carried through across the entire state. That was in February. By the time November gets here, people are going to be ready to vote, they are now, by getting into the process to endorse the correct candidate.

I tend to agree. swd - "Ash will easily win in Novmeber!" No. This is going to be a very tight race. If Madia wins, it will be by 1-2%. The Republican base in the 3rd is still very strong, at least 40%. That doesn't leave alot of Independents up for grabs. But it can be done. swd - “Ashwin Madia has run a flawless campain, stayed positive and deserves the endorsement.”

She has run a terrible campaign - this was clearly hers to lose and she has done so. I was at one of the senate district caucuses today and someone told me that the Madia campaign ordered the shirts through a union shop but the union screwed up and got the shirts from Honduras. Not much you can do about that. NorthbyNWDFL - I don’t know how you can call Terri “articulate”. She has run a terrible campaign - this was clearly hers to lose and she has done so.
