For anyone who still thinks that elected officials kowtow to teams' stadium demands because they're afraid of fan reaction at the polls if they don't, check out the latest from this KSTP poll of Minnesota residents:
The Minnesota Legislature passed a Vikings stadium bill in May. If a lawmaker voted in favor of the Vikings stadium would that make you more likely to vote for him in November? Less likely? Or would it make no difference?
This isn't about fear of the purple hordes. It's about which side has the pull to get itself into the legislative offices. And the newspapers.
