Post in competition for K. Ellison in Nov.

The Independents referenced were spelled with a capitol "I" and referenced our
candidate Tammy Lee...so I will take some liberty to speak up.

  Yes, it is very likely there will be a big I candidate this year along those
lines. Since this is a Minneapolis list I can promise you that he or she will
not be anything less than a strong  2nd in the city (and given the nature of
this year the whole 5th). Moreover, it has been my fair impression that
Independents of most sorts are quite libertarian on social issues. Of course
the real question in Minneapolis is how many Republicans we win over ;-) as it
was the last time around. I bet it will be even more.

Me:

I must've missed the posture and sobriety tests in the Constitution. I'd pass
the latter but not the former.

I won't even get into the literacy tests that would've denied Ms. White a vote
in many states during America's troubled history.

Not a good start for winning over those independents ...
