I've been noticing Repub candidates are walking in the parade in the past couple of years.

They probably think a certain number of people will remember their name from the parade and assume they're okay to vote for.

I think they did it to be arrogrant but I think they ended up like it.. but of course they can't admit it.. I'm sure they boast to their friends of being there.

I think last year their booth was next to Vets for Peace. that was something.. lots of eye rolling by the Vets..

there are Tea baggers who live in Powderhorn...and south minneapolis.

I was trying to think who the Repub candidate was a couple of years ago.

I know there are Teabaggers that live in south Minneapolis. I live next to a couple of 'em in Uptown. One of them is Scott Brooks.
