Hahn speaks to IP convention
Rob Hahn was last gubernatorial hopeful to address the IP convention.
Hahn said he wanted to earn delegates votes, and said he was the most electable IP candidate. He noted that he has proposed a "fat tax" on fast food.
He said the majority of voters in Minnesota are hungry for candidates who stand for something.
He didn't mention Tom Horner, but said he, like Jesse Ventura, was a candidate who was not a lifelong member of another major party.
He said one of his opponents described himself as a recovering Republican. "We need someone fresh and different," Hahn said.
He said he wants to reduce the size of government and the Legislature. He promised to build the base of the Independence Party and said he would be the face of the party.
