ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, in a remarkable show of support, St. Paul Mayor, Randy Kelly (DFL), announced his endorsement for the re-election of the Bush-Cheney '04 ticket. Kelly joined Democrat elected officials across the country that support the re-election of President Bush.
Democrat Senator Zell Miller (D-GA) stated, "I am really pleased Mayor Randy Kelly has joined me in the effort to re-elect George W. Bush. Mayor Kelly knows, as I do, that George W. Bush represents the values of America's heartland. President Bush is a man Democrats and all Americans can rely on to stand by his commitments to fight terrorism and support our troops. The President is also making sure that working people keep more of their hard earned money and send their kids to schools that give every child a good start in life. These are values that my fellow Democrats and all Americans can support."
"Today, Mayor Kelly put principle before partisan politics. His bold decision is courageous and a welcome move towards working across party lines," Bush-Cheney '04 Minnesota Campaign Co-Chair Governor Tim Pawlenty stated. "I salute him and stand alongside him in our efforts to re-elect George W. Bush."
"Mayor Kelly today again proved what I have long known: he is a fine man, whose first priority is not partisanship, but the well-being of St. Paul and the entire nation. Mayor Kelly recognizes that jobs are being created and that tax cuts have stimulated that job growth. He has done the same for St. Paul. He also under stands that we are engaged in a war on terror and now is not the time to change horses in mid-stream. The mayor has never been afraid to reach across party lines to get things done. I applaud him for following his conscience and his concrete convictions. This is bipartisanship at its finest," stated Bush-Cheney '04 Minnesota Campaign Co-Chair Senator Norm Coleman.
Kelly concluded, "With just over 90 days left before the election I feel extremely confident that the message, priorities, and policies of President George W. Bush will better serve America and the people of Minnesota over the next four years."
On Monday, Kelly, Pawlenty, Bush-Cheney '04 Minnesota Honorary Vice-Chair House Speaker Steve Sviggum and former state Senator Bob Lessard will participate in a Unity Tour through Duluth and Rochester, Minnesota.

This is great news. There ARE sane Dems here and there.
it is literally the word on the street as I walked downtown
today.I think Kelly will be re-elected. Norm Coleman was AFTER he switched parties, too.
People are realizing fat,dumb, and liberal is no way to go through life.
The mayor of Westminister, CA changed her party from Democrat to Republican.
This is hometown to many proud Vietnamese-Americans, who are majority Republicans.
This woman mayor said dems aren't the same party as when she joined 54 years ago.
