Nevertheless, it is with trepidation that one looks back at the drubbing of DFL endorsee Gregory Gray by Carol Johnson for the DFL state auditor nomination in last week's primary. That is because most plausible explanations of that outcome reflect unfavorably on the Minnesota electorate. Shawn Lewis, Field Neighborhood I wonder what is meant by "plausible explanations" here? Are the voters accused of being racist? One such plausible explanation is the last name "Johnson." You might ask Congressman Martin OLAV Sabo about this one. I heard that he ran once without the "Olav" name and almost lost. He believed it was because the voters thought he was not only un-Scandinavian, but also that he probably was Slavic or some other such minority.
