For those of you who have been reading, Kos has been doing a pretty good job of front paging the Chris Coleman vs. Randy "Turncoat" Kelly race for Mayor here in St. Paul. After Chris (no relation to Norm "Senator Quimby" Coleman) Coleman's HUGE victory over Kelly in Tuesday's primary, you can expect a change of tone in the race.
The Kelly camp has already hired a Republican media consultant from Dallas with ties to Karl Rove, Scott Howell.
Brandonp's short take: a swiftboating of Chris Coleman, may be coming, and that right soon.
Chis is cash strapped right now (only 25k cash on hand) please donate if you can.

The smear campaign will come not from the Kelly campaign itself (of course) but from the shadowy, and recently formed Campaign for St. Paul's Future.
Campaign ofr St. Paul's Future was launched last month by Vin Weber's brother, and the state GOP is pulling together it's resources to keep the Mayor's office in GOP hands.
Why is this important to Joe Kossack? Because if we can help the cash-strapped Chris Coleman (only $25,000 cash on hand vs. Kelly's $400,000) we can help blunt this swiftboating, and stop the GOP in thier tracks. It's an off year, but as Kos and so many others have said, never let them rest, give them no quarter. When they bring a fight, we answer back in kind.
If they want to raise money and swiftboat another qualified Democratic candidate (especially in my fair city) I say, we fight back.
