It seemed many people's opinions about issues like the bridge, snow removal, rising taxes, etc., albeit often uninformed and/or unrealistic, seemed to indicate that they'd use their votes to clean house. In the end we voted out two aldermen. Although you are quite right, a few of them got the scares of their careers.

I probably should have quoted a few posts instead of just yours because my comment was a little more general, and not necessarily directed at you. I just find it funny that prior to the election there was this huge Nenshi love-in, and now there seems to be this big anti Nenshi whinefest.
