Having not been invited to the WCCO (radio) forum, I instead attended the final presentation by the Elections division, where they demonstrated how a RCV count might go. My concern that the vote may be sufficiently split to prevent an actual reaching of the threshold - in which case, there will be, like, 33 rounds of eliminations and the top vote getter of the top two will take it, and everyone will do A LOT of bitching about the system...some of it probably valid, most of it probably distracting and unnecessary but enough to make the next City Council make a lot of bad changes, starting with the filing fee.

Turns out they're still on Windows XP (Microsoft has been trying to end-of-life it for YEARS - in fact, my own work laptop is scheduled for an XP to Windows 7 migration tomorrow and I'm terrified it will put an end to my productivity) and running Excel 2010. On one hand, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but on the other hand...we're putting our faith and trust in Microsoft?! But I trust the judges and counters - if there's a problem with the technology it might mean we don't know who won until a week after Election Day, but they'll be sure to get it right before they announce it.

Also, we're supposed to be able to get access to the master ballot list and do our own audit, so you KNOW they won't mess it up when they can be called on it later.

But if nothing else, it's proven that if you're interested at all in voting for me, PLEASE consider giving me the #1 ranking - your #2 and #3 rankings won't be helpful at all if I'm eliminated in the first round!

Oh, one more thing I learned - there were NO filings for write-in candidates, so none of them will be individually counted and reported. Sorry to my friends asking to be written in...you should have filed!

11 DAYS TO ELECTION DAY: Sadly, only six candidates responded to a survey by the nonpartisan (but hyper-Constitutionally-aware) Abigail Adams Project - myself, Dr. Bruyere, Mr. Clark, Mr. Cohen, Mr. Rahaman and Mr. Wilson. They printed a grid of our "support/oppose" tests along with all of the supplemental answers. It's a little surprising how much I agree with some of these guys - and once again, how disappointed I am with a lot of the answers (or evasions) from my fellow "Libertarian" Mr. Clark. Check it out - I guarantee I'll have made at least one answer which will drive you nuts - and let me know if there's anything which really resonates with you, resonates AGAINST you, or on which you'd like me to expand and expound.

12 DAYS TO ELECTION DAY: The Minneapolis Arts Commission recently released their "survey on the arts" results - well, as is their wont, they sucked out all the nuance and combined everybody's answers into a confusing infograph. I'm definitely in there, though! Shockingly, Mr. Kahn and Mr. Winton joined me in saying that the city needs to decrease their funding of public art, while Mr. Clark said funding could stay at the same level (which now makes me question his Libertarian bona fides).

Thanks to Sarah McKenzie of the Southwest Journal for tweeting out this link - I may not have learned about its release otherwise!

13 DAYS TO ELECTION DAY: So The Loft Literary Center sent out a questionnaire to the mayoral candidates, looking to gauge...I forget, actually. Our "literariness," I guess. Actually, I have their email, so why don't I quote it?

"As a candidate to be the mayor of Minneapolis, we're inviting you to participate in our 2013 Minneapolis Mayoral Literary Survey. As the potential head of a city that clearly values books, we hope this survey will give voters insights into how literature has helped mold and influence you as a leader."

The survey had two questions: What are your three favorite books (titles only - very serious about that!), and What book has most influenced your leadership style, and how? (Technically, that second question is a compound, but who's gonna argue with the literary center people? I'm only a TECHNICAL writer.)

They also mentioned: "The results will be published on the Loft's website (loft.org) on Thursday, October 17, 2013. We will also promote the results to the media and engage our social media networks."

Now, today being the 23rd, you can probably figure that this hasn't happened because I haven't posted a link HERE to get you over THERE. I sent an email asking if I was the only person who responded, and Deputy Director of Development Tanner Curl wrote back: "I'm afraid to report that due to lack of response, we pulled the plug. Thanks for your time in filling out the form, though, and best of luck on the campaign."

Wow, I feel like I dodged an endorsement!

Fortunately, I saved my answers, and now I'll share them with you here:

1: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
Microserfs - Douglas Coupland
Big Secrets - William Poundstone

2: I think for me, "The Puzzle Palace" by James Bamford was the book responsible for the most noticeable impact on my world view when comparing my thoughts and ideals before reading it versus after reading it. There is a great danger in sacrificing openness and transparency for what others consider "the greater good" and everyone from the mayor on down has an obligation to shine a light on what's REALLY going on out there.

Yeah. Not great answers, but at least they WERE answers. Maybe I should have found a Minneapolis author. I wonder how many other candidates responded. I wonder if it's ironic that the literary center went back on their word to the politician? But....admittedly, I don't wonder about any of this for too long.

22.10.13 02:06 
TWO WEEKS TO ELECTION DAY: As I previously mentioned, I headed out to the Greenway Building where The UpTake was taping three minute bios with any mayoral candidate who could show up. I COULDN'T show up last week, because I have a day job and they were working 11am-1pm, but they had Monday after work slotted out in quarter hour segments - I had 6:30, but had some good luck on Hiawatha and ended up pretty early - and LUCKY because I got to experience firsthand Wagner for Mayor, who was the first fellow candidate to not JUST recognize me, but run up and give me a good hug as well. He let me know he got a kick out of my "response" video which made me feel pretty good. He asked me what my gig was and I again regretted not being in a band. Anyway, Jeffrey's energy is infectious and I wish I had a few more minutes with him, but he had to dash. (He took a lot of photos, and I forgot to take any, so I'm hoping that he'll post one sooner or later.) I didn't get to ask the Columbia Heights question but I DID try to get him to reveal his age - a question he evaded.

Next up was the aforementioned Jimmy Stroud - this guy knows EVERYBODY (or at least everybody working late in the Greenway Building) and has a fascinating history working in Minneapolis, especially with the less fortunate. It's really a shame he didn't submit a Star-Tribune questionnaire (he did have an explanation) because I think he's someone a lot more people need to know about and his online footprint really hasn't come close to capturing his history helping out the city. He was very gracious in letting me get the photo I shared down there.

Dr. Bruyere was scheduled after me - he popped in during Mr. Stroud's interview, but left almost immediately after - I think he must have gotten an urgent call and had to run...or he just hates me and had to leave because he was sick at the very sight of me. (I'm KIDDING, Eddie! I was happy to see you again, even briefly, and hope all is well with you.)

So I did my three minutes, forgot practically everything I wanted to mention (stadium, money in politics) but the truth is, I'm not sure anybody's going to watch my video who doesn't already know me...but if they DO I did a pretty good job of repeating the Facebook link over and over, and there's plenty of background stuff here to fill in all the gaps I left. I'll link it (and all of them) when they're posted.

I've probably been very fortunate but in my travels (and possibly by avoiding the "Mayoral Council" meetings) I have yet to meet a candidate for mayor who I didn't enjoy talking to and personally like. I think I'd still make a better mayor than a lot of them (especially the kooks), but for a lot of reasons I really hope the voters of Minneapolis are getting a chance to know these folks as well as I have been over the past months and not just going by who's making it in the paper.

The UpTake is hosting a debate tomorrow - I believe they've invited the Big 7 (including Mr. Fine but excluding Mr. Cohen - or was it the other way around?) as well as Mr. Everett, if he gets back to them. I'll be home - or here on Facebook - or both.

In fact, as of right now, I have no more obligations, no more questionnaires or surveys, and am free and clear until Election Day, so I better figure out something to do (or beg you to invite me over) between now and then...

I have been added to the Southwest Journal's "Voter's Guide for 'Minor' Candidates!" I totally missed the deadline, but their editor Sarah McKenzie very kindly allowed me to submit my sound bites (no more than 300 words each!) in response to their questionnaire way late. Be sure to read ALL eleven candidates' responses - especially "The Rock's" (by the way, this page contains the THIRD spelling of his name I've seen so far - he really should pick one and stick with it - or just stick with "The Rock.")

MAYORAL CANDIDATE #35: CYD GORMAN (POLICE REFORM)

Ms.(?) Gorman listed an address in Harrison on her filing, and her signature looks a lot like her printed name. And we're done. No, really...she has a mostly private and/or dormant Facebook page, an empty Twitter account (no tweets, no followers, only following Barack Obama and Sandra Bullock), a blank LinkedIn entry, an empty Google Plus page, no Star Tribune questionnaire, and a website which doesn't look have been updated in over a year (and only once since 2009).

Her Twitter bio seems to have the most current information (or information at all) about her: "Live in Minneapolis MN. Wanted to write books and screen plays most of my life but had to raise family first. Looking forward to my next chapter in life."

There ARE some books listed on her personal website, and Amazon lists two with her name on the cover as well. No reviews for either.

It appears that there were plans for a local journal called "Cyd's Weekly Report" but they never really materialized.

There were ALSO plans for a separate nonprofit (and another website with Gorman's telephone number) but that also appears to have gone by the wayside.

Given that she was the final candidate to file, it looks like she wanted to pay her twenty bucks and make her "party or principle" serve as her complete statement - with nobody else mentioning it, perhaps it was up to her to make sure people saw "Police Reform" on the ballot and that's all she wanted, so that's all she's done. If so...good for her. She'll be another scapegoat for raising the filing fee, but she got to make her statement this time around.

One thing I can tell you for sure is her name is right underneath mine on the ballot (except on any ballots where she's listed first, in which case I'd be last). Did you know I'm the only cadidate of the 35 whose name is sandwiched between two women's names? No, you didn't - and you didn't care. But I thought that was pretty neat.

Sorry to end with so much filler - I might have tried harder with CM Hodges if I had known she was the last of the "big" candidates.

I honestly can't tell you if I'd be a better mayor than this lady or not, but I feel like I might be! Am I right or wrong? It's YOUR vote!

And THAT'S ALL of the candidates! NOW whatever will we talk about? I hope you've learned some stuff you didn't know about at least one of these folks, and maybe I've helped you decide on your Top 3. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or feel I've left any gaps in my research - and one more time, if you could Like and Share /CRZforMayor for me, I'd love for everybody in Minneapolis (and Earth) to know at least as much about all 35 candidates as I feel I now do before they vote, ranking their top three. Thanks again for visiting my page!
17.10.13 03:00 
MAYORAL CANDIDATE #34: JEFFREY ALAN WAGNER (DEMOCRATIC-FARMER-LABOR)

"Wake the f*ck up!"

These four words permeate throughout Wagner's campaign - it would be great if that were what people heard and took to heart, but...we all know better. With his initial viral video (which I haven't linked, but I'm sure you've seen), former and current local rock tycoon Wagner stole the mantle from Mr. Sparrow as the candidate the rest of the nation (or maybe just its media) were happy to point to as a complete distraction and declare just how weird our happy little crowded mayor's race had become. But it's the Internet, so of course there's a whole lot more to the story - but most of the blog commenters who immediately declared "I'll vote for him!" didn't need (or WANT) to hear it. (Nor did they want to see any follow-up ads...at least two have been released, and as is usually the case with this viral stuff, it's been hard to recapture the lightning in more than one bottle.)

Although he declared DFL, he has some very un-DFL beliefs - normally, this isn't a bad thing, but...

At the Star Tribune, he declined to state his age on his questionnaire, but did offer his occupation as a baggage handler at MSP. ("Baggage handler" is not a double entendre, though I understand if you thought about going there.) Some of his tweets have given the impression that he works at the Taco Bell in the airport, but I'm pretty sure he's joshin' there. (IS there a Taco Bell in the airport?) Most of his tweets/Facebook status updates prior to filing do appear to revolve around the baggage handling arena (no pun intended...also, most of the photos have disappeared...or maybe the links broke because he had chaged the name of his Facebook wall page to "JeffreyWagner4Mayor" - ah, it's late, I have to stop trying to figure this out.)

ANYWAY. When not running for office or working at the airport, Wagner produces MRTC TV (Modern Rock Twin Cities Television) for Blip and YouTube...ah, now we have the background behind the ability to produce viral advertisements, yeah? Anyway, somewhere along the line he decided to separate the campaign from his business (well, sorta) so he another Twitter account was created. That one's got 5 tweets and 15 followers. (The MRTC Twitter has just under 300 followers.)

He has said that he's 46 on that Twitter account - this gibes with the ages on BustedMugShots.com's six arrest records between 2000 and 2009. I didn't pay to find out what they were, but elsewhere on the Internet it is reported that it's mostly DWI and/or driving while on suspension from the DWI. I'm not sure this was ever reported in the Star Tribune, by the way. Roll your eyes with me here.

Another thing you haven't read in the papers is that he lives in Columbia Heights, which is juuuuuuuust outside the city limits and not a part of Minneapolis. As covered earlier with Mr. Anderson and Mr. Gould, there aren't a whole lot of requirements when you pay your $20 to file, but you DO have to swear or affirm that you'll have lived in the city for 30 days by the day of the election. I haven't seen any indication of any recent moves and we're passed that 30 day mark...

If you'd like to see what a younger to MUCH younger Wagner looked like, he's put up on YouTube his appearance before Judge Wapner on "The People's Court" - no year attached, but with Wapner would have to be between 1981 and 1993 - he's definitely been a rakishly handsome lad all his life.

I should also mention that he ran for City Council in 2009, amassing 321 votes and finishing third of the three declared candidates. (He may not have lived in Minneapolis THEN, either - but a Southwest Journal profile says he did indeed live in the Ward in which he was running, in Loring Park. This profile also contains this quote, intimating that the Wagner style of politics didn't originate in 2013: "I’m a fool, dude...Not a good idea to drink heavy and then decide to try to change the world.")

So there you have it. A great message, but a checkered past, checkered present, possibly not meeting the simple qualifications of city residency. Oh, AND he's one of the "Likes" for this page, and hopefully I didn't lose him if he reads this far. By the way, he and I have 15 mutual friends on Facebook...and, because he's big into the rock scene, it should come as no surprise that almost all of our mutual friends are also in at least one band. Sometimes I think I'm the only guy in Minneapolis not in a band. Maybe I should join a band after the election.

I honestly can't tell you if I'd be a better mayor than this man or not, but unless he moves to Minneapolis yesterday, it might be a moot point! Am I right or wrong? It's YOUR vote!

NEXT: Have we finally reached the end of this list? Praise the Lord!
17.10.13 00:43 
19 DAYS UNTIL ELECTION DAY - MAYORAL CANDIDATE #33: BILL KAHN (LAST MINNEAPOLIS MAYOR)

Kahn, 56, lives in my 'hood of Prospect Park. He's unemployed which appears to give him a lot of free time - in fact, he may actually spend more time on the Internet than I do, which is no mean feat.

Kahn didn't really want to run but couldn't find anyone else to take up his particular banner, so on the final day of the filing period, he threw in his hat and/or hilarious head shot (he has a series of them, each more entertaining that the last, which he uses to accompany his many message board and blog comments) under his "party or principle" of "Last Minneapolis Mayor" - in essence, Kahn would like to get elected so that he could work to get the position of Mayor of Minneapolis abolished. His opinion is that Minneapolis doesn't really NEED a mayor...an intriguing position I MAY not entirely disagree with; after all, I believed "No Mayor Would Be Better Than CRZ" enough to get it printed on my "free" business cards. Running the city would be left to the City Council and a non-elected city manager.

He'd also like to change the makeup of the City Council from representatives of the 13 kinda/sorta districted up "wards" that divide our city into a combination of 5 reps for geographic pieces of the city (northeast, north, south, southwest, southeast) and 6 (or 8, depending on which page you're on) "at large" reps who would be elected by the whole city. Again, this is a pretty intriguing solution if you believe the current setup to be a problem.

When he's not putting his pet principle next to his name, Kahn identifies with the dreaded DFL, which means no matter how libertarian I think he may sound, there's probably no chance I can get him to come around for me. (In a comment on Naomi Kritzer's blog, he said his current #2 was Dr. Bruyere and his current #3 - with the caveat of a held nose - was Mrs. Hodges.)

He signed up for Twitter on Sunday - in his second (and so far last) tweet, he said he'd appreciate your #3 vote. Again, since I'd appreciate your #1 Ranking, it is possible you could make both of us happy, albeit at the expense of Mr. Benjegerdes who would ALSO like your #3 vote. (By the way, at the time I type this, you can still be his very first and only follower!)

I honestly can't tell you if I'd be a better mayor than this man or not - well, actually, perhaps I CAN, since I can definitely promise I would stick around if I were elected! Am I right or wrong? It's YOUR vote!

NEXT: The man you've been waiting for (to put on a shirt)
