Krinkie to abide by endorsement

Posted at 10:59 AM on April 12, 2006 by Bob Collins

If Phil Krinkie doesn't get the GOP nod in the 6th District race, he's confirmed that he intends to honor the party endorsement in the race. MPR Capitol reporter Tim Pugmire sought confirmation of that today. "As you may know, there's been some whispering from the Bachmann and Knoblach campaigns about Krinke and his commitment to the GOP endorsement. They say he made a statement at a district convention last weekend about possibly running in the primary. "Krinkie told me this morning that he did indeed make the comment (at the district convention), but insists it's much to do about nothing. He says he mentioned the option of running in the primary during a heated procedural discussion, in which he feared the potential disqualification of 30 to 40 ballots. Ultimately, he says only two spoiled ballots were thrown out, and he cooled down.. Krinkie insists he still plans to abide by the endorsement," Tim reports.
