[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These nutty lefties on the council are all going to get washed out. It will be like the DA race in San Francisco. People who won election with barely any votes in previous years are going to get slaughtered this year when the public is in a sour, throw-the-bums out mood. People forget how few people actually voted for some of these council members. In her last primary, Brianne Nadeau won with less than 6,000 votes. That's not going to come anywhere close to cutting it in a year like this. [/quote] That recall election had an extremely low turnout, and the margin ended up being below 55-45. High turnout tends to help more progressive candidates. I think the attention the W3 race is getting now is bad news for Goulet, whose only chance of winning was with something like 23% of a low-turnout election where more liberal candidates split votes.
