In Ward 6, we had the choice between Meg Salyer, who the Chamber supports, a 21-year-old kid (no offense intended, but Ms. Holstein has a lot of learning to do before she can run an effective campaign, let alone hold public office in a major city) and one of the religious loonies. Not a tough choice.

In Ward 8, we had Patrick Ryan, again the Chamber guy, and another religious lunatic. Easy choice.

In Ward 5, there were plenty of reasons to vote against Walters, and naturally, Greenwell had Chamber support.

In nearly every other case, it would be easy to select the Chamber's guy or gal because their opponents were either religious loons, extremely inexperienced folks getting their advice from Steve Hunt, or because they were like Walters--extreme and incendiary. I'm quite confident that even without Momentum's involvement, it's likely that all of those races, excepting perhaps Ward 5 would have turned out exactly the same.
