Some Thoughts, Post-Election

With about 50,000 votes, 98% precincts reporting, Luke wins--55.08%

In this election, we have supervoters, coming out in rain, tsunamis, tornadoes, snow, etc. And supervoters should have overwhelmingly voted for Luke.

And if a supervoter strayed a bit over to another candidate, it should have been far and few between. And still others might not have showed up. I would venture a guess as to why, but I will leave that up to you.

In the 2005 General, close to 60,000 voters showed up and elected Bob O'Connor 67%. Joe Weinroth (R--remember, his mom gave him $200 for his war chest); Titus North (Gre); David Tessitor (Abo?????); and Jay Ressler (Soc) were the other candidates in case your memory escapes you.

But with numbers like 25.49% for Dok and 19.42% for Acklin, Luke is not too popular among his biggest, most reliable supporters.

A shameful showing for the Mayor.

Maybe now he will update his website.
