Finally, it's out of the way. Finally, it will be quiet for a while and we can all calm down and get back to normal.
Back in August when qualifying open for candidates, I
posted the following: (emphases added)
Stay classy. No matter who wins and who loses, we still have to live together. Things to avoid include
- Cheap shots at your opponents that don't have anything to do with managing the city
- Creating personal controversies. Remember how the Pankey campaign in 2008 allegedly tried to create dirt on Adrian Bonser? Like that. Don't do it.
- Gratuitous negative campaigning. I don't care what the marketing statistics say, negativity will bounce back on you.
- Putting flyers on cars parked at a church/synagogue during worship. Enough said.
- Bragging about your campaign's strengths if you win. The only thing worse than a sore loser is a sore winner.
Congratulations, Mike and Terry! Enjoy your Christmas and New Year's because the work really gets going in January.
