St. Paul Mayors Race: Police Union endorses Kelly

-St. Paul Police Union announces endorsement of Kelly, citing his "commitment to public safety."
-St. Paul firefighters scoff "makes me want to light my hair on fire."

-Mayor Randy Kelly will not seek the DFL endorsement, although he will still run as a Democrat. This move is simply because he knows he cannot win the DFL endorsement(because of his endorsement of Bush), and can't win in heavily Democratic St. Paul running as a Republican(which he is).
