Oh, we've had so much going back and forth on Nader and Gore....but what I
find more interesting is the School and Library funding referendums passed.
I heard that Wally Swan had opposed the Library referendum--but have not
heard why. Can anyone on this list fill me in on that one.

get the ball rolling (and to get people yelling at me): Nader was
overplayed. Very often when reading this list, one could get the
impression that Nader was the number one choice in Mpls, but his 10.5
percent showing was in the end very weak, as voters came to their senses
and exercised good judgment.
