You make an excellent point, thank you. You are right, the article launches into describing who Dean is without adequate background to explain why Dean is being described. I’ve added this as the second paragraph, to clarify the article a bit:

Tom Emmer is a GOP candidate for Governor of Minnesota. He’s supported by right-wing luminary Michele Bachmann. But whom does Emmer support? He donates money to, and hangs out with, and publicly supports, one Bradlee Dean.

The video attached to the article also talks about Emmer’s relationship with, and support of, Dean.

might NOT know Emmer's name, that is. My bad. Anyway, to clarify: maybe not 90% "Dean is nuts", and 10% "Emmer knows him", but something closer to 50/50?

I am strongly in favor of gay rights, but I have to say: this article, whether purposefully or not, is pretty misleading in a fundamental way. Particularly for interested people in other states who might now know Emmer's name, the fact that "Tom Emmer" only appears twice in the article (at the end), and once toward the beginning as a photo caption, could easily mislead people into mistaking Bradley Dean for the candidate. Obviously, Dean is a wingnut, but he's not the candidate. Sure, it's a problem if the candidate himself associates with wingnuts, but this article could (and should) be much clearer as to what Emmer is directly guilty of and what he's not. I hated it when conservatives did this to Obama with Ayers and Wright, and so I don't feel right about letting it slide here.
