The sidebar, "Stalemate: Delegates Block Endorsement in Ward 8" was written by Shannon Gibney, the managing editor of the Minnesota Spokeman-Recorder. Gibney wrote: "Hard political lesson number 2: In a racially divided town, even a black veteran of Minneapolis politics can't necessarily count on the support of white voters."WM: The statement, of course, reflects the mind set of the writer, but does not at all reflect the mind sets present at the convention. He's clearly talking about Titi since Jeff Hayden is not a "veteran" of politics.
Shannon Gibney, who wrote this article is a she, not a he.
