Sure, that's fine, as long as it's city specific.
A couple of other election anecdotes:
Included with my independence party lit drop was a piece for Nader. Are
Jesse's folks and Ralph's folks working together in Mpls? (It would make
sense, since Jesse doesn't have a Prez candidate and the Greens don't have
many lower-ballot folks).
Also, an acquaintance, a well-to-do Mpls lawyer, showed up at the government
center looking for an absentee ballot. The clerk eyeballed him, and said,
"Every since George Bush started doing well in the polls, all YOU people
have started showing up." Not only was my acquaintance upset that a clerk
was showing disgust at a particular party or candidate, he was mad because
he's a Democrat!
I wonder if the latter, especially in the DFL city, is a sign of anything --
I remember first thinking Jesse might win when the lawn signs
sprouted...could absentee ballots portent a Minnesota win for W?
