[Mpls] 8th Ward gathers, no endorsement

         Sharon did NOT win the endorsement; that Convention adjourned 
without endorsing a mayoral candidate.  (In fact, Sharon never won an 
endorsement battle all through her career.  She was only endorsed when she 
ran without opposition.)

         I understand they were both out of town for a family event.  Which 
seems like a more important event to go to, frankly.
