Albeit from a Rybak supporter, I have a little different
take.  I think Stenglein and McDonald are going to battle
over the same voter base (the conservative and I'm ticked
off vote).  The mayor, who has lost touch with the people,
given big corporate subsidies, and racked up a huge internal
services debt, will lose votes to all three - Stenglein,
McDonald and Rybak.  And Rybak will get the visionary
coalition vote of good government reformers,
environmentalists, progressive labor, pro-small business,
basic services and better housing people. Stenglein and
McDonald will cancel each other out and Rybak and the Mayor
will win in the primary.  In the general election, the
Stenglein-McDonald vote will swing over to Rybak who will
win over the mayor 56% to 42%.

always out on a limb...
