| Things I liked about the Minneapolis DFL convention:
1. Minneapolis is finally catching up with St. Paul and going to city caucuses for city elections. Disenfranchising newcomers to Minneapolis was wrong. This is the right thing to do. 2. 14 ballots in 12 hours. That was very efficient use of time. The double (and triple) balloting worked very well. 3. The Rybak campaign just outorganized the SSB campaign Where was her floor organization. The convention was won for RT when the agenda was approved and the SSB crew was napping. That's when we really saw how disorganized the Sayles-Belton campaign was. 4. I enjoyed my time in Minneapolis, and invite all of you to come observe (and maybe help out) at the St. Paul DFL convention on June 2, at Arlington High School on the North end of St. Paul.
