I was not at the convention, but by definition, any of the candidates could run for the "third" spot, including DFLers who never even sought the endorsement. That's one of the risks involved when the convention chooses not to endorse for all of the available spots in a multi-way race.
People also need to remember that this is no longer a one party city. There are at least two people running for the Green Party endorsement (Doug Mann and Kari Tauring - there may be more) and I believe that the Greens will pick their candidates in the next week or two (can anyone confirm the date?).
Especially with the DFL and generally unfocused anger at "the establishment" over a number of issues (including a lack of community involvement in major decisions) this could easily become a wide open race. I'd suggest actually seeing what candidates have to say rather then voting a straight party ticket.
