'Maid Men
Mark Dayton dropped out of the US Senate race, but the Dayton vs. Kennedy blog soldiers on. Their official new name is delayed, pending the capricious dictates of the DFL faithful to decide on a candidate. But that hasn't stopped the boys on that site from continuing to provide the best coverage anywhere on the race so far. That includes today's inclusion of DvK contributor the First Ringer on board Kennedy's caravan to Mounds View. Yes, it was Mark Kennedy LIVE at the Mermaid.
I dare say that place hasn't been so alive with electricity since the late 80's when DJ Mitch Berg was in the basement simultaneously knocking out the hits and knocking back watermelon kamikazes on Ladies Night.
Granted, today's Kennedy appearance at the 'Maid didn't provide a lot of news (unless you consider a picture of the Congressman adjusting the cup holder in his mini van news). But the inside access earned by these bloggers, and the truly superior talent assembled among this group to write about the race, it leads me to believe Dayton v. Kennedy (or whatever) will be a must read in the months to come.
The feelers of interest being extended, the jockeying for position, the promises, the begging, the pleading, the desperate groping for glory - it will all be documented. And that's just if the caravan comes back to the Mermaid for Ladies Night.
