4. I'm delighted. Phil said some stupid stuff lately and he was the most conservative of the two. |

9. I was really surprised at how conservative Phil was. |

Especially when he came out against the city's plan to protect GLBT citizens.
Plus, I believe he was against Becker's plan to allow more bars in neighborhoods.
In a Tribune article I read two months or so ago, someone posted he sounded like a dinosaur. Couldn't agree more.
