That Foung Her guy has something about him that draws people to him.  Maybe charisma?  Or more like gravitas. 

Gravitas for sure.

HmongHUNTER007 is not right about VP selecting one Hmong candidate or to "find the weakest Hmong candidate" because he is not and does not "select" just one candidate.  We all know that that process is undemocratic and not to mention, it is rather more authoritarian that VP is allowed to pick out one person.  That being said, we all know that VP is biased and will select someone who he knows and not someone who will represent the East Side best regardless of race/ethnicity.  In addition, VP is a close friend to the Chief as mentioned about and would most likely suck up to the chief to make him "the candidate".  I disagree with this action and to select one person.

I heard in the news that the meeting took place last Tuesday at Lao Family in St. Paul.  I also heard that only three of the four showed up.  The "consolidation" process was invalid and pointless since it didn't include all four and that all four didn't agreed to the process.  In addition, it was exclusive and even "racist" because only the four Hmong candidates were invited when there really are 9 Dems. 

-pill

does anybody know if a person can vote in this district if they have a business on the east side but resides in a different district?

Should I move into my house in mn (it's on the east side, yay me!) just so I can vote for a hmong candidate?  Hmmmm.... And then move back here before the nasty snow comes. 

Yes, please do. And call me so I can conspire with you on whom you should vote for, ok? thanks.

R: it's actually a duplex. You wanna "rent" the quarter upstair so you can vote, too, or what? 

How many election are we going to have 4 Hmong folks, eh?

Don't know about Minn laws, but here in Ca you have to establish some kind of residency first.  I'm sure it's like that to up there.

So here's the plan.  The more vote the better.  Since I already have a vacant house on East side, all you and I need to do is jam that place with as many non-east siders locally and from out of town. Every vote counts!

It's sh^t like this that promotes the clan-based approach to supporting causes. The way I see it, all the Hmong candidates are screwed because, obviously, this mindset is stiil going on. Perhaps voting for a non-hmong is in the best interest of the Hmong community because no one will win. That way, Hmong people won't feel that one clan is "better" than the other.

Errrr...betwee n Reporter and I, I'm sure we will both vote for the one that will best represent the interests of East Side folks.  Even if it's a non-Hmong. 

Actually, I can't speak for R because he might vote for Chai Lee.  You know how Hmong people are.
