[9]Democratic candidates and the days before the primary
Minnesota Post - By Max Sparber - Monday, Aug. 9, 2010
It was debate weekend for the Democratic candidates for governor — one last
push for them to distinguish themselves from each other before primaries.
This is not an easy task, because their platforms are awfully close to each
others, and, to their credit, the candidates didn't go especially negative
against each other — mostly, as Rachel E. Stassen-Berger of the Star Tribune
points out, they tried to dig into Mark Dayton, who is leading in the polls.
What would they do differently from Dayton? Well, they would also raise
taxes on the richest Minnesotans, but not by so very much as Dayton. So
it’s not like the Pharisees were distinguishing themselves from the
Sadducees. It’s more like the People Front of Judea was distinguishing
itself from the Judean People's Front.
