To hold a person in contempt and accusing that person for disloyalty
because the person supported candidates other than those anointed (bad
word, I know, so sorry I can't in haste think of better) by the party is,
in my opinion, not only wrong but contrary to DFL traditions. The party
needs people of conviction, especially those who can articulate their
views well. Annie does this and we should be grateful that she willingly
shares her views.
