I didn't hear the podcast but I kind of agree. I'm not super excited about voting for Gondek. I haven't agreed with everything she's done on council, but I've always found her reasonable and I think she understands how things work. I think she'd be a good mayor, but I don't get excited about what she's going to do.
I voted for her because in a choice between her and Farkas, she seems reasonable and competent and I can't stand Farkas. Earlier in the race, I was looking at outside candidates, but no one there got my attention either. Well, in a good way anyway...
So it came down to this - if no one really excites me, which of the top candidates do I think will do a decent job? And that, without a doubt, is Gondek.
