Just thought I’d talk a little about my fair city, Rochester, NY, and the mayoral election. You’re gonna love these numbers!
The results of the Rochester mayoral race were not a surprise. Democrats have always had a strong hold in the city. link to results.
But don’t you love these numbers? The Democratic candidate, Robert Duffy, won with 72% of the vote. So that means that his Republican challenger got 28% of the vote? No, try 16%…there were two other candidates in the field.
Problem is, once you leave the city limits, and the diverse population, you get into the vanilla-whitebread suburbs, which are strong Republican. The County Manager is Republican, as was the former.
But it’s nice to walk the streets of my neighborhood and see all of the anti-Bush stickers and flags. Let’s take consolation when we can get it…maybe the Bush nightmare will soon be over!
