It went to four ballots, after which there was a motion to suspend the
rules and adjourn. It was supported by both campaigns and (mercifully)
passed easily. I think at this point RT had forty-nine percent and Sharon
forty-eight-point-something. Both candidates were in the fortieth
percentile in all ballots.
It was a stunning result, considering that five days ago, the Strib said,
"Minneapolis Mayor Sharon Sayles Belton will walk into the DFL Party's city
convention Saturday favored to come away with a quick endorsement of her
bid for a third term."
I got a new shirt today, too. It shows a target and says, "Minneapolis
gave Target $127 million and I didn't even get a lousy T-shirt."
