Not The Time To Go Wobbly

For the record, I'm with Jerry from SD63 on sticking with Alan Fine in the 5th District. I fear that Keith Ellison will still prevail with somewhere around 45% of the vote, but I don't buy the notion that Independence Party candidate Tammy Lee has the best chance to beat him.

She may be peeling off some Democratic voters from Ellison, but not enough to give her any realistic prospect of victory. At the end of the day, I see Fine coming in just short of 30% while Lee will collect just a hair over 20%. Rather than asking Republicans to crossover to Lee, I believe the only real chance to prevent Mr. Ellison from going to Washington is to encourage independents and disaffected Dems to pull the lever for Fine.
