St. Paul mayoral race news?

[Eric J in MN]

Who will run?

Will it be a 2-way race in November?

1. Chris Coleman and Rafael Ortega want the DFL nomination

They're both decent enough candidates, but hard to get very excited about so far. I'm waiting for someone to impress me. Come November, I'll vote for a freeze-dried rat if that's what it takes to get rid of Smelly Kelly.

2. whatever happened to the recall randy campaign?

[northernsoul]

3. well, there was no legal basis for a recall

It was largely a protest move, as making an incredibly stupid presidential endorsement and using bad hair dye are not removable offenses under the St. Paul city charter (as far as I know). I wish they were.
