Per an article in today's Strib the GOP is claiming that Dayton decided

to go public about his depression before a primary opponent could (You'll note they're not claiming before the Republicans did.)

Our old buddy Sarah Janacek - she of the "they used closed captioning to tell people when to applaud at Wellstone's memorial" is claiming,

"Everybody in town knew that some Democratic candidate had planned to use it against him," said Sarah Janecek, a GOP strategist and director of political coverage for Politics in Minnesota. "The game right now is the DFL endorsement. It's not a pretty time in politics."

Usually, I wouldn't pay much attention to Sarah, but I have to admit that the first name that popped into my mind when I read that was "Entenza". - Anyone else have any bets on which DFL candidate might be weasely enough to "out" another DFLer?

1. I believe it would have been a Republican using the info. Hated the top letter on

the Op Ed page too! "there is no mild depression". Nice smack in the face in the guise of a so-called "nice" letter. Strib sucks a big turd. Also love the one page that has a header something like "????has trouble being on a straight path" and just below it was an article about the first lesbian cop hired for the Obama administration. What a pile o crap that paper has become. Not worth wiping one's butt with even.
Sarah has a big mouth and blathers all the time. She is evil.

2. I've heard it was Entenza who was going to out Dayton

That being said, Dayton could have gotten out in front of this a long time ago and it wouldn't have even made a ripple now.

3. If it's unethical, dishonest or backstabbing, it's a good bet Entenza is behind it

After all, we already know Entenza is guilt of all those counts against fellow Democrats.
