I read this yesterday after Rybak posted it on his Twitter account. It was an interesting article, actually. It's sort of a weird mix of praising Minneapolis (while also pointing out problems) and a profile of Rybak.

I thought it was a good profile as well as a very "real" approach to my favorite city, tied with Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

Good article, will be interesting to see where Minneapolis is 10 years from now if it gets better or worse. I hope for the better.

My guess is that the national mood for partisanship has pretty much played out. Nobody in their right mind is so enamored of their chosen party's leadership that they would lay down their lives for them. We need sane adults to pull us out of the tailspin caused by the "me first" gang that has poisoned the national discussion over the last generation.
