Still waiting for closure
10 11 2007Following the Ken Mann/Sam Crawford results has been agonizing. Currently it stands at 6,223/6,371 with Crawford ahead but there are still ballots to be counted. It’s like Curling, everyone has done their part and now we’re just waiting for the stone to stop moving. As I write this there’s only another hour before the next update.
I am shocked and amazed that Mann has done as well as he has in the count so far. Not that he’s a bad candidate or ran a bad campaign, but given my own prejudice about Council District 2 I assumed that despite his impressive fund-raising he didn’t stand much of a chance. Clearly I stand corrected and I hope the good people of that district will accept my apology.
In other news, Ian Imhof’s write-in candidacy for County Exec. didn’t fare too well this time, but MySpace is a tough place to get a message across. I hope he’ll stick it out and maybe get more formally involved.
This post-election span here is really starting to drag out, and I apologize. Maybe next time I’ll set it up a whole special “Election 20xx: Week-long Coverage” event so that a bunch of low-content ½ posts wont look so out of place.
So, Sam’s posted to his blog about your meeting; I’d love to get your take on it as well.
