Turnout was awesome! Volume at the polls dropped after the
attack, but rebounded later. Perhaps with so many places closed and
reruns of the attack on TV, folks were bored so they went out to vote?

This is now RT's race to lose. Sharon may get half of
Stenglein's vote but most of Lisa's vote will go to RT. Sharon needs
to dis Target, declare the housing shortage the emergency it is, and
get back to her progressive roots if she wants to keep her office.
Lisa is the big loser here- she overestimated her popularity and
should have dropped out after the convention. As for Mr. Stenglein,
if redistricting is not kind to him he faces unemployment in a couple
years also.
There's a serious message here for prospective candidates-
Republicans and even conservative DFL/IP candidates like Lisa are
dead meat in Minneapolis. If you want to win, move as far left as you
can without going in the ditch.

Joan wasn't near progressive enough for this ward, and the
students finally turned out in a primary. If Paul can make peace with
the old guard he'll win handily.

Joe gets any easy ride here. Bro. Shane tried mightily, but
even he couldn't get the west 3rds recalcitrant voters to the polls.
I suspect the Green Party endorsement hurt him and he would have done
better as a DFLer.

This was the most unpredictable race on the card. Dean Z is a
proven votegetter and leads the race without breaking a sweat. Dean
Kallenback will pick up much of Barb's and Shada"s vote making this a
close race to the finish in November. Dishonorable mention goes to
Shada for shamelessly campaigning until poll closing if not after,
while other campaigns had stood down out of respect for the great
tragedy that befell our nation.

Vickie's turning into a serious candidate, and may close the
gap. However, Robert will pick up some of Sandra's support which
could easily put him over 50%. Better turnout in the general will
help Vicky though.

Might as well give Gary the office keys so he can start moving in.

Shirley's poor showing says something of the prospects for
even a socially progressive Republican in much of Minneapolis.
Whoever can win the Green Party vote will win in November.

Sandra has no need to update her resume.
Conclusions:
The Minneapolis DFL has less than 2 months to reinvent
itself. The party has been operating far too long on the false
paradigm that it needs to stay close to the political center so that
big donors will give the dollars needed to defeat the Republicans.
There are hardly any Republicans in the Mill City, and the Green
Party is nipping at their heels. As far as money, RT has conclusively
proven that you can't buy Minneapolitan's votes.
Flame away...
