Shot In The Dark: BULLETIN! PENTEL ENDORSED! TECTONIC WAVES SHIFT!

BULLETIN! PENTEL ENDORSED! TECTONIC WAVES SHIFT!

BJ Hokanson, the Twin Cities blogosphere's most precocious adolescent, covers the MN Green Party convention:

Governor - Ken Pentel

Senate - Michael Cavlan

Attorney General - John Kolstad

He also notes:

Secondly, despite advocating for the non-white and non-male (in addition to the white and male, of course), it is still a rather obvious fact that these are three white dudes. This means that even the Republican ticket is going to be more diverse.

Dude. It always is. Dude.

I mean. Dude.

Ever been to a Green Party meeting? They are barely less white than GOP meetings, and their ideas are for the most part the product of white, privileged, over-educated, guilt-wracked people who spend less time on trying to survive so they have more time to Think Big Thoughts. And oy, what a drab, joyless, angry bunch they tend to be; it's like going to a very over-the-edge pentecostal church.

Anyway, congratulations, Ken Pentel. Here's to another comfortably-under-2% election!

I don't know Ken personally, but I have to say his mechanical pencil is awesome.

My nickname for the Green Party's candidate for governor is Ken "Two Percent" Pentel.

The Greens must be the NPR of politics.
Garrison Keilor's long-time radio home has a decidedly urban "feel", has prominent black & latino hosts/reporters, and hardly lets a day go by without a story focusing on the troubles of minorities in the US, yet it's audience is as lily-white as the Utah GOP convention.
Somewhere in the back of their minds I bet greens & NPR "members" alike fear that maybe, just maybe, their taste for counter-culture music and art, as well as progressive politics, is really nothing more than a signifier of a certain ethnic and economic class.
