Fifth Ward DFL Convention "Side Show" Featured "The Gubernatorially Tall Man"


Photos By John Hoff 

Though the main act at Saturday's convention was Don Samuels versus Kenya McKnight, there were a lot of political "side shows" happening, too. This blog post features one of them...

In the top photo--right where he belongs--is John Marty, a state senator from Roseville who would like to run for governor. (His website is www.johnmarty.org) He is the chair of a committee which deals in health and housing. But, more important than all these things, HE IS RATHER TALL. 

How tall? Well, taller than the current governor, and that's what matters. Did you know 85 percent of the time, the TALLEST candidate wins? It's OK if you didn't know that, because John Marty knows it, which is exactly what you expect from a tall leader.

Remember, running for governor is a TALL ORDER, so John Marty is your man.

Note in the picture above how John Marty TOWERS OVER MERE MORTALS, such as the woman on the left. Vote for John Marty, or he might...squash us and eat us!!!!!!!!

In the second photo...somebody who is working for the Marty campaign. Wait, why are fifty percent of the readers of this blog post lingering so long on the SECOND photo, paying virtually no attention to the first? Stop looking at the second photo! DRAW YOUR AMAZED EYES TO THE VERY TALL MAN!!! He is the point of the show. Note how TALL he is, GUBERNATORIALLY TALL!!!!

Well...I guess if tallness doesn't work, one could run the other guy and play the "good looks" card. I wonder what percentage of the time the candidate who is MUCH BETTER LOOKING wins the race?

I'm guessing tall candidate backed by dreamy hunks = 98% success rate...

Hey Johnny, thanks for the post and kind words. Senator Marty and I enjoyed talked with you at the Fifth Ward Convention. That's me in the second picture- I'm John's campaign manager. While that's not the most flattering picture, ha, I appreciate the compliments. More importantly, John is not only tall-but he also offers the bold, effective leadership and progressive vision that MN needs now more than ever. I hope people will check out the website and learn more about Senator Marty and our campaign. Anyone can donate online or sign up to volunteer as well. www.johnmarty.org.

Thanks again,
Daniel Fanning
