And the silence you hear is Peter McLaughlin and his supporters... I can't see how McLaughlin spins the primary election in a positive manner. He had the momentum coming out of the convention and then loses by 10 points. Also David's Ward analysis shows that again RT swept the 10th, 13th, 11th, and 7th Wards. These are historically the highest voter turnout wards in the City (by far). RT won't win 65-35 like he did in 2001, but unless something drastically changes between now and November 8th, RT should win handily 55-45.
Tenth Ward will be a fun race to watch. Remington should watch out as the Ward has a reliable "progressive base" of about 40-45 percent. Unfortunately, Remington needs 50.1 percent to win. I say Persons wins 53-47. Dean E. Carlson Ward 10, East Harriet REMINDERS: 1. Be civil! Please read the NEW RULES at http://www.e-democracy.org/rules.
