Now does Ripley or Dowhan have polling information that triggered this? I thought I saw some reports late last week indicating some strong momentum for Ripley's campaign, perhaps that had something to do with him coming forward to Dowhan and making the request?

If you read Dowhan's facebook post it reads as if Ripley was approaching him because he was behind in the polls (Ripley's information) and Dowhan must have had a reasonable third place showing.
As a Ward 2 resident, I can't see that 'vote-split' logic, because I don't see a Dowhan voter translating automatically or even disproportionately into a Ripley voter.
