Dawn is breaking on primary day (Keith Ellison, AG race in MN) what should I do?

[progree]

Oh God. I don't really want a flame war. I just want a clue on how to vote today.

i have been concerned for more than a decade about Keith Ellison's gremlins, though I have been ecstatic about his record in Congress since early 2007.... but I've considered him dubious character-wise like he is above the law and above us peasants who have to obey the laws ... and now he's got to deal with accusations of domestic abuse by someone who doesn't seem to be a Roger Stone plant (though I agree with many progressive that the time has come and the time is now to produce the goddam video or quit saying you have video proof among other weirdoisms)

Anyway, I really want our strongest Democratic candidate to run against whatever Repuke in November...We've had a Dem attorney general and strong consumer advocate for more than 50 years in this state if I've got that right (I red that from a reliable source). And that is huge to me especially in the health care arena and the mortgage fraud crap.

Trouble is that the media has been saying that Ellison is by far the favorite to win the Dem (DFL) primary. I just don't think with his baggage he's our strongest candidate by far in the general election in November against the Repuke, sure he's unbeatable in a core Minneapolis/inner suburb CD 5th district, but statewise in a state that only had a 1.5% margin of Hillary over Trump? ... I definitely won't be voting for him in the primary for that reason and because my feeling about his character (sorry that's important to me).

So who do I vote for in the DFL primary that has a chance in hell of beating him in the primary and of course beating whatever sick Repuke that he/she faces in November? Who is the strongest candidate against him in the primary that also has a chance in hell in the general election)

The other candidate for A.G. are (well uhh, frankly have zero name recognition):

Mike Rothman, (Star Tribune endorsed)
Debra Hilstrom,
Matt Pelikan (DFL endorsed),
Tom Foley,

To put it in plain English, I want to vote for the strongest candidate in the primary that has a chance to beat Keith Ellison (and who could win in the general election which or course is the whole point).

I vote soon. Thanks.

Just to be clear -- I'd vote for Ellison in the primary without hesitation if I thought that was the surest path to a Democratic victory in this AG's race in November. But I just don't think so.
