Clack Wins by a 100 or so votes and the Hurley Mileage Fails by a couple 1000 votes.

Haha, do you really think she's going to win this? With how little she's campaigned? Do you really not like Walling that much to the point where you're just going to say she wins?

On what facts or figures are you basing this?

I like Walling and think he would make a great Mayor.

One big fact "THE NORTH END"!

You should drive around the north end and see the Walling signs. Clack might be able to win the north end but that's probably about it.

I'm still torn on the Hurley issue. I guess I have until I get out of work to figure it out.

Yeah, we attacked her base pretty solidly. The country clerk's office released the precinct data and we pulled in well over 30% of precincts 1 and 2.

She just didn't know how to campaign well, did not defend/mobilize her base as well as we did. I'm pretty sure she didn't even try to hit college cultural.

It just shows you that hard work, strategic campaigning, successful fundraising, and presenting an overall better candidate wins in the end. The one trump card can be fund raising... as seen in 2007 when the Don "raised" over 500k and Walling only had a bit over 100k.

It was a good race though, working with the team definitely showed me how professional most of them were.[/quote]

i'll tell ya, brenda's comment stating something to the effect blacks should be voting for their own kind of struck me offensively. she should know better than that. she should be aware black folks actually do read and ponder candidates. we actually do weigh positives and negatives. we actually are capable of making informed votes. we did!

That offended me too, back again, because it goes along the same lines as if she would've said that more women should have voted for her because of similar reasons.

I'm interested in seeing how Mr. Walling will run the city and how the city council will work with him.

Good to see you on here Dan. And we did work on her base very effectively. Opening up an office at Welch and Chevrolet was a huuuge success. We polled from 35 to 45% on the North End and around 70 to 92% in the other wards. Overall the best ran campaign worked.
