Salt Lake City Mayoral Numbers

[Sean Reynolds]

Ok, so it isn't as important as say the Philly election, but it is for me! The fact TWO Democrats are running does say a lot, but we're all gonna cheer for the Socialist Democrat, ok? ;-)

I'll let ya know results as the polls close.

[JohnKleeb]

1. Go Socialist Dem

Hopefully this will make your day man.

[Sean Reynolds]

2. I hope!

I've put too much into this campaign to lose!

[CMT]

3. it's a little known fact

except for you folks in Utah, but SLC is a predominately democratic city. Good luck!!

[UrbScotty]

4. Sean! Welcome back!

I thought you said you would leave DU until we had a nominee!

[Sean Reynolds]

5. Read this

That will tell you why.

8. How did Dean handle the pile up?

I want him to be tough because he's going to be battling Rove and the media if he gets the nomination.

[Sean Reynolds]

18. He could have done better.

Was bogged down at the start of the pile up, but came out strong with a final response. He didn't help his cause, but he didn't hurt it either.

6. Thanks, Sean!

I dropped you a message in your inbox, btw. Finally got around to reading my mail, sheesh. I was hoping someone more ambitious than myself would throw up the mayoral numbers here. I didn't get to vote since none of my reps are up for re-election this year. As long as Rocky wins, I'll be okay. I have a beer right here in his honor. :)

7. Your Mayor

is one of the great progressive voices in the country! Ironic isn't it? SLC of all places. But he is a great frind to organized labor. Good luck!!!!

[Some Moran]

9. Isn't SLC fairly progressive?

Prove me wrong...

[economic justice]

17. Absolutely

Rocky is a solid progressive and, as I said above, a GREAT friend of organized labor.

[Sean Reynolds]

10. Exit Polls: Rocky Anderson *WINS*

Still too close to call, but they're stating Anderson WILL win re-election!

:bounce:

[Some Moran]

11. Getting Stronger!

:)

[Sean Reynolds]

12. Exit Poll: Rocky wins 63-40%

Results still coming in.

[Hamlette]

13. Rocky 52.8% Frank 47.2% too close to call

Propositions, funding for the Zoo winning, for the Cultural center, winning, for branch libraries (52% to 48%, too close to call) for preserving open space winning (!!!) sports complex winning, and bond to increase funding for Tracy Aviary winning too.

Salt Lake is liberal! (?)

[Some Moran]

They supported Clinton, no?

It's true!

[Sean Reynolds]

16. Salt Lake City also voted Gore in 2000

[Some Moran]

15. They supported Clinton, no?

It's true!

[liberalmuse]

20. Yessss!

Rocky! I wanted all the props to win, too. Can't help but be a little nervous about exit polls and such--still a little shell-shocked from 2000.

[Sean Reynolds]

14. Exit Polls: Rocky Projected to Win Re-Election

Salt Lake Mayor Race: Based on Dan Jones' exit polling, KSL TV projects Rocky Anderson will win his race against challenger Frank Pignanelli. Anderson will receive 53 percent of the vote compared to Pignanelli's 47 percent.

19. Salt Lake City

Having been there once, for the Olympics, I can say that SLC is one hell of a city. It was nothing like I had pictured in my head. Thankfully, most of the mormons stay somewhere else. Love the mayor!

[Hamlette]

21. Not all Mormons are jerks

just for the record.

the are also so pragmatic they are intent on not looking as looney as the Judge Moores of the world.

[Some Moran]

22. It's hard to accept them sometimes...

The superiority of the White race was a tenet of the LDS until just 25 years ago.

[Sean Reynolds]

23. I do too!

=)
