ELECTION DAY OF RECKONING
This is it. No more commercials. No more ralllies. No more blogs. No more spin. Just good old fashioned get out and vote. The only thing that has surprised me about this election how suprised everyone else seems to be about how close things look today. Anyone who has been paying close attention should not be surprised at today’s uncertainty.
Of course the polls show incumbent Mayor Bart Peterson slightly ahead, however who would of thought a two-term incumbent with millions in the bank would have to pull out all of the stops in the last days? Easy, anyone who showed up at a tax rally over massive property tax increases and saw the City-Council raise income taxes 65 percent.
The fundamentals have been here for a long time. It just amazes me with how long it took everyone else to recognize them.
Because this election is so close, it is all coming down to ground game and turning out the vote. Democrats, Republicans and Libertarians will be looking for voters the way an Ethiopian looks for food. (Pardon the dated 1980s reference.) And he who finds the most wins.
We’ll talk later today.
