Pat Anderson / Sandy Burt Event

I'll be attending a fundraising event tonight featuring State Auditor Pat Anderson and State Senate candidate, Sandy Burt. Should be a great time. For anyone interested, the event will be at the Four Points Sheraton, Minneapolis. Click here for details.


UPDATE / RECAP:

The event was great. Turnout was a little lighter than expected (I think there is still a bit of activist burn-out), but those in attendance were very enthusiastic. For good reason. We were treated to insightful and heartfelt speeches and discussion from two very warm and very dedicated candidates.

The one thing that really struck me and stuck with me was though both Sandy Burt and Auditor Anderson are highly intelligent and capable, there was not one touch of that elitism that is so common from candidates on the other side. Both are strong women who are sincere, caring, honest and genuine "folk." As with Governor Pawlenty, their "realness" stands in stark contrast to the elitist arrogance of a Mike Hatch or Larry Pogemiller.

Sandy Burt has a very difficult fight ahead. I give her a lot of credit for having the courage and conviction to take on a career Democrat encumbant in the heart of Minnepolis.
