While the DNT editors will be required to endorse Cravaack in the General election by their owner/investors they have endorsed Duluth City Councilor Jeff Anderson for the DFL primary. That suggests that the editors are 1. attempting to stay on the right side of local Duluth boosters and 2. Doing their best to promote the weakest candidate likely to face the candidate they will ultimately endorse.
Minnesota Public Radio has a good analysis of the DFLer’s strengths and weaknesses.
