Good luck with that attempt to frame Tarryl Clark as an extremist. And perhaps as you learn to frame, MNBlue, you might consider that a party's endorsements are partisan affairs, so damning someone as "partisan" might not be as incredibly intelligent a thing to say to potential DFL delegates.

My read on the situation is that it's a dead heat between Clark and Reed. It's a long way off from the endorsement and Reed is working doubly hard at getting it, while bringing in great in-state fund raising numbers. In my opinion, Reed is the best candidate. She's not tied to an extremely partisan voting record, she's an expert in health care and education and she's able to speak plainly and clearly on many topics. I really do hope she gets the nomination in the end. Maureen Reed has a good chance at the endorsement from the DFL.
