Woohoo! Coleman wins in St. Paul!!
St. Paul voters punished Mayor Randy Kelly on Tuesday for standing with President Bush a year ago, denying the Democrat a second term in Minnesota's capital city.
Former City Council member Chris Coleman, also a Democrat, routed Kelly by a more than 2-to-1 margin in unofficial returns with most precincts reporting. Ahead of the election, independent polls showed voters were primed to fire Kelly, and most cited his 2004 endorsement of the Republican president as the reason.
No sitting St. Paul mayor had lost a campaign since 1974.
Heh. Yeah. Rock it, St. Paul. In slightly less stirring news, Minneapolis appears to have reelected R. T. Rybak, who while not a Bush supporter, is kind of a douchebag sometimes.
