At the press conference on Wednesday
(http://www.startribune.com/stories/587/688041.html), R.T. Rybak
referred to his array of new supporters. He said, "The future of
Minneapolis is about a big tent, and this represents one of the
widest ideological spans you can have in the city."

Our local election will not bring on a New York sitution,however the
total disenfranchisement of a "People" is no good for business or

I have several thoughts to share about the City Council race in Ward
10 that may be of interest to DFL list members and instructive for
Greens.
My loss at the polls on Tuesday was not a failure of the message; it
was a failure of the messenger. In my campaign, I spoke continually

I'm amazed we let the elections continue after NY City. We closed the Mall
