Because he has had to with his top tier status to little effect.

It is Amy's turn now. But she has actually a pretty good story. While tough on crime, that is not a bad thing in the AA community as long as it isn't a cover for something else. And she has a lot on the other side of the ledger. Indeed a lot of the "evidence" in the AP story is available because of the reforms she put in place.

She cleared the county Jail right away of all the harassment charges that are used to target the AA community. She brought in the Innocence Project right away to work on standards and relations. She shifted resources to White Collar crime. There is a lot there to sell.

And when it comes down to it there are issues with almost all of our candidates with the community, they all will have to prove themselves and that is what should happen.

It is finally Amy's turn outside of Minnesota and Ellison's power play will end up failing I believe.
