Good choice. Heck, anyone on the DFL side is a good choice. Whoever gets the DFL nomination will be the next Governor for the great State of Minnesota.

Go DFL!

This backing should be the clear signal that Kelliher is the wrong candidate to vote for. Unions throughout history have notoriously backed the candidate they feel will pander to them the most, which has never been a good thing for the rest of us. Vote for the candidate not the party. Vote for the candidate that will get people employed which will in turn help reduce the deficit.

Omigod, you mean to tell us that there are labor unons supporting Democrats for public office. I am flabbergasted and totally disappointed that the unions are abandoning their support of the Republican party.

It really gets me that these unions think it is perfectly okay to take sides politically. First of all, members of unions are paying dues and not everyone agrees with their opinions. It is high time unions get out of politics and stick to employee representation.

If the State of Minnesota is so great, what are you doing in the state of Colorado? I hear that Colorado is quickly becoming a state that supports the Independents more than the Democrats. Maybe you should think about emigrating to the Red Star State and becoming just another pawn in the great chess game of Minnesota politics.

She will be a complete disaster for the Minnesota economy if elected. She will scare the tax payers and employers out of the state.

Why are unions even allowed to endorse candidates? Aren't unions non-profits just like the churches? Maybe unions should lose their non-profit status over this?

Another comment by this poster void of all and/or any common sense. Vote for "anyone" in the party.... thanks for using your noggin to think of the entire state. Yours is one the most useless votes out there. ME, ME, ME.

Yes, it must be nice to be in a union and have union dues taken out of your check to support a candidate that you may or may not even support. Kelliher is nothing but a liberal, deficit spending, union hack. And it's apparent the union supports her, they have obviously been buying here a lot of free dinners. Heck, anyone but on the DFL side is a good choice. Whoever gets the GOP/Independent nomination will be the next Governor for the great State of Minnesota.
Go GOP/Independents!
