Election Aftermath

Well the people of Pittsburgh have once again wandered like zombies into polling places and chosen to continue with blind faith in anyone with a (D) after their name. Mayor Luke stayed up way past his bedtime to enjoy his victory.

Still, hats off to Mark DeSantis who put up the best numbers for a GOP mayoral candidate in Pittsburgh since 1965. The big problem is that most people who want to see change in the city got fed up years ago and moved out (myself included)! I'm a stones throw away from the city line but my taxes are half of what they would be in the city and the police show up when I call them. Thank you Bellevue PD!





Luke Ravensthal caused a stir after he was spotted doing some last minute campaigning IN A POLLING PLACE. That's folks is against the law. Luke told KDKA he had a license to be a poll watcher. However, Luke would not have been a licensed poll watcher in that district. My thanks to Agent Ska for the crack photos!

Channel 11 interviewed Dan Onorato and the graphic showed him as a republican. I wonder how many people scratched their heads on that one. Democrat Nick Futules, a Verona councilman, knocked County Councilwoman Susan Caldwell, R-Plum, out of office. That adds a Dem to county council.

The allegheny county elections department changed the URL of their polling place locator at the last minute. Hummm.....

After a primary battle, Patrick Dowd successfully completed his campaign for Pittsburgh City Council yesterday.

After six terms in office, Washington County District Attorney John C. Pettit appeared headed to defeat after running into a strong anti-incumbent sentiment among voters. Republican Steven M. Toprani, 29, of Carroll Township looks to have the win.

Christ himself could run as a Republican in Pittsburgh and STILL lose!

And people wonder why Pittsburgh has lost 50% of its population.

In a twisted way the population loss is a good thing. That means 50% of the people are still sane enough to realize when it's time to get off a sinking ship.

Hey, my socks are wet!
