While I agree with most of Mr. Jacobsen's post, I object to his characterization that the Green vote was a repudiation of the DFL machine. First of all, there is no DFL machine, as has been established
on this list. Secondly, IMHO most of the Green signs were probably found in yards of people like me -- people who were not only voting against the actions of their current council member, but also FOR an individual who they thought was a superior candidate. I know in Ward 2 the two candidates were both men of honor, both with great skill sets, albeit different ones. Speaking only for myself, doing anything "cool" would be totally out of character for me -- according to my children. ;o) Barbara Nelson Burnsville, but my heart is still in Minneapolis -- Barbara Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I will persist until I succeed.
