Worked Really Hard, However ....

I worked really hard, since January, to be on the Council, however, it's beginning to look like I will come up short.  Today, more than 700 votes is a big barrier to get pass.   With probably a thousand more votes to be counted, maybe a couple of thousand, this is not a concession, although reality is setting in, because I would have to win a very great percentage of remaining votes left to be counted.  The all-but-slanderous two columnists, the "Rogue-ner" & "Stepin Fetchit" tag team, of the local newspaper, here, played a significant part in helping my opponent build up her lead.  More money for advertising than I had for the campaign was needed to counteract that kind of sleaze.  However, I really enjoyed meeting many of the 47% or 48%-or-more of voters that supported me, and the overall spirit of all supporters has truly inspired me to look at the U.S. Senatorial race.  Nevertheless, still hoping for a comeback miracle in the vote count.  No concession at this time.
