Time to place our bets and have some fun
Advertisements [?]
OK, let's all place our bets on the outcomes of Tuesday primary. Here in Ramsey County, the interesting races are governor and Ramsey County District attorney. Here's my bet:

Dayton will win the governor's nod because seniors will show up to vote for him.
Kelliher will come in second.
Entenza will take a bath.

For Ramsey County District attorney:

John Choi will win because he has DFL endorsement but he has few qualifications and seems to blab and blab about law and order. I think he will win just because he is on the sample ballot and no one really pays much attention to these little races.
David Schultz should win because he is most qualified. Also he has a record of supporting human rights.
Tammy Pust doesn't have a chance and has little experience.

That's my two cents. I am interested in what others have to say. If anyone knows much about David Schultz, I would love the inside scoop.
