[WOSG]

There were two LIBERALS running, and so conservatives didnt even bother to VOTE seeing as they didnt have a choice.
We see this in Austin as well. 5% of the electorate chooses the city council clowns. Sad but true, this locks in the power of the liberals in the cities.

The fact that they both represented themselves to be more conservative than they were ... well, a small silver lining.

“People are tired of big government, big unions and big business.” - That’s not how the media will write the story - they write it how anyone who holds on to traditional values is an old-hat bigot etc.

“seeing as they didnt have a choice”

You always have a choice.

Conservatives stayed home during the general election as well.

3 Democrats, 1 Republican, 1 Independent

And the Republican came in 4th.

Stay home and you get what you deserve, the expansion of Big-City liberalism.

Same sex partner benefits for city employees will be coming as will irrelevant “green energy” solutions (and I suspect a whole new fleet of city owned cars, trucks, and other vehicles).

Barack Obama ran to the center in 2008 too.
