EvilMonkey Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 http://www.sctimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic.../108080047/1009 There’s an old saying in politics that elections are won or lost one vote at a time. On Friday, DFL-endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Al Franken demonstrated how true that saying can be, when a roundtable on veterans issues at Brigitte’s Cafe his campaign scheduled drew only one participant. Josh John, a St. Cloud resident who said he served in the Navy from 2000-04, had Franken to himself for an hour as he described difficulties he faced returning from his tour of duty and the help he received from his Veterans Services Office and the St. Cloud VA Medical Center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkey Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 I'll give him credit for at least stickign around and talkingf with the guy instead of storming off in a huff because he was ingored by the populace in general, but really, 1 person shows up to hear you speak? Maybe he ISN'T good enough. And doggonit, maybe people don't like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
