2018 MN-GOV DFL primary: Why did Murphy win the urban areas?

[LiberalDem19]

a) she's from St. Paul

b) Walz and Swanson split voters, which helped Murphy. No Swanson, and we'd likely Walz winning in MN-04 and MN-05

c) Urban DFLers are the far left Bernie types that think Walz is Republican-lite (which isn't really true, but whatever)

[LiberalDem19]

Murphy is quite liberal. What are Walz and Swanson like?

Walz is pragmatic progressive, Swanson is a centrist

...no? Swanson maybe but not Walz, who had significant support in the urban areas and had the endorsement of Jacob Frey and many urban legislators.

I'm talking about the ones that went to Murphy, not all of them. The field was split so they were a plurality in CD4 and CD5. Obviously Jacob Frey is a different ballgame.
