THIS AND THAT
Sixth District congressional candidate Phil Krinkie dismisses the Cheri Pierson Yecke endorsement of Jim Knoblach in an e-mail to supporters.
Yecke's number one priority in Minnesota was to promote and defend No Child Left Behind, so it makes sense she would endorse Rep. Knoblach. Jim has done more to defend NCLB and its federal intrusion into education policy than any of the candidates in the race.
We should also note that key members of Yecke's team have joined the Krinkie for Congress effort since her departure to Florida, including Bill Walsh, Chris Tiedeman and Ryan Flynn
