Without a mayoral endorsee, the DFL will have trouble raising money to support the whole ticket, predicts Mn-politics.com's Blois Olson. Council members Cherryhomes, and Campbell plan to coordinate campaigns with Mayor Sayles Belton, but Council member Goodman, observing that 70 percent of her ward's DFL delegates didn't vote for Sayles Belton, says "I'm not sure that having the mayor on the top of the ticket would have been beneficial." http://startribune.com/viewers/qview/cgi/qview.cgi?story=84166816 Olson concludes by quoting list member and unendorsed 6th-ward candidate Barb Lickness: "I think it's probably going to be one of the most interesting elections we've seen in years."
