But wait! If the DFL is losing elections, why is Rep. Kahn's change that forces an additional round of elections pro-DFL? This has always been the illogic in Michael's argument; there is nothing built-in that favors the DFL. In fact, his argument is quite patronizing to the Greens, since he assumes they would be steamrollered by the DFL in '03. Based on their last showing, the Minneapolis Green Party could more quickly gain seats more quickly if elections are held in '03 rather than '05. Who's to say their gains wouldn't be expanded, rather than reversed? Certainly, Michael presents no logical reason or evidence the Greens would retreat. So says this so-called "staunch" DFLer (who did not vote a straight party ticket in '01, by the way...)
