 The First Ring: November 2005
Unfortunately when inspiring young Chris, Grandma didn’t specify how long he’d be sitting as mayor as Coleman faces a complex set of challenges all stemming from the simplistic reasons for the scale of his victory.
Coleman ran a cautious campaign that, at least after the primary, went fairly straight down the middle of the road with occasional exits to bash Bush and Pawlenty, followed quickly by taking the nearest on-ramp back to rhetorical moderation.
Coleman inherits a broad base coalition of centrist and progressive voters, both of whom believe they’ve either elected a follower or at least a sympathizer with their values, and a city budget deficit of $14 million that will immediately test his loyalties.
