Well, "Nostradamus," a.k.a. Bob Roegner, the Mirror's political columnist, got the primary wrong, but that doesn't stop him from making predictions about the General Election without the benefit, again, of a poll of some kind. Remember, this is the guy who couldn't see that I was campaigning for councilmember since the winter as though it was my 2nd job, and along with his sidekick, "Mr. Anonymous," is a master of unflattering, misleading and shady innuendo for candidates he doesn't care for.
It's not just my race he's making predictions for, which are apparently based on overwhelming numbers of people seeing his writings, and all but points to the candidate he wants elected. The problem with that kind of "crystal ball," however, is that too many people can see through it, and aren't particularly anxious or willing to give him, or "Stepin Fetchit" (Mr. Anonymous) standing over his shoulder, their vote. That's a good thing for me.
