The spitting and name calling and just being coarse and ugly, to me, just seems completely over the top. You'd think we were all going to die.

Maybe I am being too confident but you guys sound hysterical. IMO, this is going to come down to whether people are pleased with how the city is going or if they want a change. These flyers don't amount to squat. I mean, just look at them. I can't imagine taking them seriously even without knowing the back story. And people claiming someone infiltrated their stronghold sounds nutty to most voters not all caught up in it so I don't understand giving that sort of accusation more than a strawberry. Eye roll stuff.

Honestly, you guys are sounding like you are scared to death and I have NO idea why. The only thing it is doing, IMO, is cause me to wonder what I am missing because Mick's supporters are clearly freaked out. Before seeing this thread (and the other one), voting for Mick, to me, was a no brainer.
That makes sense. I think people are simply enjoying the horse race Penny. I'm not hysterical and I am confident Mick will win with decent voter turn out. For those who worked for Ed, this is simply a moment to enjoy. He had the absolute best team of political talent for the Ward 2 campaign. It is amusing to most of us to watch the stumbling around.

The saddest part (and most bittersweet) is that if he was half the man he claims to be, he might be a pretty great leader. The problem is, there is no substance there. It is simply about him.
