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.

Sorry for the short diary, but maybe someone can fill me in on where pastordan and maryscottoconnor have gone. They are my favorite reads of the day, and either I am blind... or they have walked away from KosWorld for a bit.

Any Kossacks know?

This is my first diary, so my apologies if it has been covered before, or doesn't meet with the SOP. I've been reading about a ceremony on the hill for the Rev. Moon and the sheer number of members involved in this bizarre ceremony is shocking. It sounds very tin foil I know, but check out more over on politics1.com. (sorry to plug another blog, but they are covering this much better than the Kos site)

Anyone know more about this? Is anyone as disturbed by this as I am?
