Eva, I don't think the city has a "one-party" strategy per se...I think the GOP, the alleged party of personal responsibility, needs to take some here. Much of the one-partiness has been the result of some lame and/or out-of-touch candidates. I know you have frequently criticized your own party's nominees as too conservative, and to me that's really the problem - until another party puts up candidates that better reflect Minneapolis citizens' legitimate values, that party deserves to lose. Right now, the Greens have a way better chance in Minneapolis than the GOP....although it's an open question whether we would suffer less at the statehouse if they became the DFL legislative alternative.
