Reference discussion of DFL verses 'Greens' and Ms. Khan's proposed election bill,  The 'Green' victory was more a rejection of DFL machine than any new 'green' political party.  The Green lawn signs and bumber stickers to be seen in inner city -election past,  were more a protest of traditional do nothing Republicans and machine DFL than a real new party building up.  
         There of course was some 'Green' organization but Neighborhood types with those signs were working thinking people with little interest nor participation in 'politics' and every reason to dislike traditional politics as per the machine.  Last summer it became the 'cool' thing for wedge types to have the green signs.    
         City politics is supposed to be -by long ago tradition- non partisan anyway.  Any machine scams to still keep the DFL on top are a lost cause.
