At Least We Tried

By a vote of 109 to 65, the final vote tally in the democratic race for Toronto's third ward seat was won last night by Jason Fogle. Congratulations, Jason, on a fair victory.

To those who supported me and those who voted for me, I want to say thank you, and to remind you that we did very well considering that we were running against incumbency.

I would also like to let Mr. Fogle know that I will not be pulling a Joe Lieberman. I have no intention of trying to run as an Independent and courting Republican voters trying for an upset in November. I ran as a democrat because I am a democrat.

At this time I would also like to announce that I plan to continue to maintain this site. I'll use it to editorialize on all forms of local government as I see fit. I may even run the occassional original editorial cartoon.
That's wonderful, however, I need a majority. -- Adlai Stevenson in response to being told that the intellectuals of America supported him.

I just realized that blogger put a date stamp of may 7 on this post. I wrote the post on May 7 and I also wrote an acceptance post on may 7 and saved them both as drafts. I actually posted this one at approximately 12:30 this morning after editing in the final vote tally.

Actually, you're a Socialist. Thankfully, there are enough wise Democrats in Toronto to see you for what you are.

Great, another anonymous coward heard from.

Not only a Socialist, but a failed Socialist who bags groceries at a convenience store.
