Hmm. Certainly some, definitely not all, and probably not most.

The first place Natalie went on victory night was to DFL Mayor-elect R.T.
Rybak's celebration. She was greeted enthusiastically by the mostly white
DFL crowd (I was there; she was a rock star). There were *plenty* of DFLers
citywide who were thrilled Cherryhomes lost.
