Only in Minnesota would there be a primary election challenge within the Green Party ... This is the "establishment" Green candidate: http://www.votekenpentel.org Pentel is getting some decent press in Minnesota. We have four political parties legally defined as major parties. They all tend to get invited to all the debates and candidate forums (a significant accomplishment you rarely see in other states). You can get a sense here what this means for Pentel (who is polling under 5%, but will likely do better than that in the general which is consider a viable three-way race already: http://news.mpr.org/collections/campaign2002/governor/pentel.shtml Now, you have to check out the other Green candidate for Governor: http://www.klatteforamerica.org Scroll your mouse over his picture. This story tipped me off: http://www.twincities.com/mld/pioneerpress/news/politics/3926851.htm The main Republican candidate, Tim Pawlenty <http://www.timpawlenty.com> also has a primary challenge from Leslie Davis (an environmental activist): http://www.davisforgovernor.com - Check out his Dump Pawlenty animation - the web demonstrates its substance. ;-) You can also check out independent candidate Booker T. Hodges pictured with the Minnesota-born Pillsbury Dough Boy! http://www.bookertforgov.com/pictures.php Everyone is so jazzed up about a Libertarian candidate for Congress in North Carolina <http://radio.weblogs.com/0112137/> who apparently has the first candidate weblog. It looks like Booker tried something similar last month <http://www.bookertforgov.com/bookersdaily.php>. Finally, if you want go further to the right side of the spectrum (Constitution Party State House candidate) to explore that site of someone who "learned about the responsibilities of a man perched on the fender of his dad's tractor." check out: http://www.votejarman.com Steven Clift Democracies Online Newswire P.S.
