Oops! I had the actual election confused in my mind with one of those primaries you have in addition to the convention. Thanks to those of you who kindly, and not so kindly, pointed this out to me. So it was the electorate-at-large who voted with their gut and got fooled--most of whom are Democrats--now claiming betrayal after voting against their own party's nominee. Equally exciting. I confess I find the nominating/endorsing convention+primary process used here confusing as it is pointless, especially coupled with these quasi-non-partisan city elections. My mistake is born of my own indifference, however, and is no fault of the Green Party's. Of course, the mistake made by St. Paul's DFL voters and the DFL's failure to garner support for its own endorsee isn't the Green Party's fault, either. Blaming others for their own failures is old behavior the Democrats need to overcome if they ever hope to succeed again.
