More on the mayor of St Paul

This article raises new possibilities I hadn't considered.
Kelly for Governor in 2006, clears the way for Pawlenty for senate in 2006. Afterall, didn't Pawlenty step aside for the Coleman in '02?

Is it a point of concern that Washington seems to be getting more and more involved in our state level and now even city level politics? There will be a few who will say "we don't know that" but the ties of Coleman to out-of state interests are obvious. His fingerprints on this maneuver, even if Dick Cheney or Karl Rove is controling the strings, are also apparent.

They made a major blunder, however. It would have been more perfect if they would have included St Paul in the terror alert and told us all to go shopping. Your thoughts?
