The DFL'ers are not nearly as united as the GOP was coming out of their convention.
Just look at what delagates are saying:
“Even with the endorsement, Hatch still has to win over some in his own party.
Minneapolis delegate David Moe wasn't enthusiastic about having Hatch atop the ticket. ‘Mike Hatch has a lot of enemies out there that he’s made,’ said Moe, who entered the convention as a Lourey backer and later shifted his support to Kelley. ‘I think it helps the third parties.’” (Brian Bakst, “Their Candidates Blessed, DFL Sets Out To Get Them Elected,” Associated Press, June 11, 2006)
Sidenote: Becky Otto makes me laugh. She is the only person I know that is somehow qualified for higher office when you lose a much smaller office. Remember that Becky Otto was the ONLY incumbent DFL'er in the House to lose to a Republican in 2004. I successfully drove her insane during that campaign and I plan to do the same this time around!!
