Minneapolis/ St. Paul Mayoral Elections

[Blank Slate]

Thank you residents of St. Paul in getting rid of Randy Kelly.  Yes, let that be a sign to all the Democratic turncoats who supported Bush last year.
Thank you for that Left of the Dial, I was wondering where those other candidates came from, revised predictions then:
 
Here's my predictions for the two races:

MINNEAPOLIS MAYOR

R.T. Ryback  (incumbent)                      62% 
Peter McLaughlin                                  38%

ST. PAUL MAYOR

Chris Coleman                                      70%                 
Randy Kelly (incumbent)                       30%

Hakeem                                                  3%
Others                                                    1%

ST. PAUL MAYOR

Chris Coleman                                      64%                 
Randy Kelly (incumbent)                       30% 
Elizabeth Dickinson                                6%

 

Both races are run offs, hence only 2 candidates in each, although the St. Paul one is not a true run off as Coleman go over 50% in the first round and thus should've already won.

Kelly went down 70-30

Still counting in Minneapolis I believe, but the latest numbers I see have Rybak 63, McLaughlin 37

Great results, BRTD.

Do you think Rybak will run for Senate in 2008?

It's possible but I don't think he would be too great of a candidate statewide. More likely is that he goes for Sabo's House seat once he retires.

[MN--Troy]

Kelly went down 70-30

The St. Paul election was all about Kelly's endorsement of President Bush in 2004. Chris Coleman was a strong challenger, but given the economy of St. Paul has been decent and the crime rate in the city has dropped, Kelly should have been re-elected to a 2nd term.

Good luck to Nick Coleman's brother

Kelly went down 70-30

Kelly should have been re-elected to a 2nd term.

Well, that's the price he paid for endorsing the inept George W Bush

I'm pleased to see Rybak win. One of my college classmates, and a good friend, is a key figure in his administration.
