Reply #192: Dem Kelly beat DFL endorsed Benanav for St Paul Mayor 2002 [View All]

[preciousdove]

Kelly had more votes in his district than there were voters. The election was that close, less than 100 votes as I recall, but the cost of the recount and the fact that Kelly was a Democrat abeit a Conservative one made the problem "go away."

The only response I got from email when your story broke in NZ was a call from the head of the Mn DFL Erlandson. I had been up with my grandson all night after he had his 6 month shots and we (he, me and great aunt Darlene) had just gone for a nap in the living room when they called and I could not get my thoughts together to talk to the aide. I asked them to call back but they have not. Since then I was in the hospital with cardiac insufficiency for a few days so have been not moving real fast in action or in thought but it is getting better now.

Guess I will wish and pray that y'all succeed in this but I will keep watching for a chance to jump in again and will try to contact Erlandson again next week when you have had a chance to plot a course in light of this new development.
