The Election Buzz

I guess I can say for sure that I wasn't surprised by the election results on Tuesday. Although, I was a bit disappointed. I worked hard on canvassing neighborhoods, talking to people at downtown events, and doing a pretty good job at answering questions at the Candidate Nights. It was a learning experience in the local political arena as well. I had a number of yard signs stolen and an advertisement that was supposed to go in a local publication that prints 56,000 copies, somehow got "misplaced". It was amazing because the 2 incumbents who also "advertised" got there ads in. Oh well, the people voted, sort of. The election turn out, like the Candidate Nights turnout, was also disappointing. People get to complacent and forget that it's their right to voice their opinion by voting. I guess life is just to busy to take the time to exercise that right. If life is to busy to vote, are your priorities in the right order? {rhetorical}
It looks like the next time that I may possibly run for city council is, at the earliest, 2 years. If I decide to run again. In the meantime, I plan on continuing to voice my opinions and letting people know that Delaware can and should run better as a city. I hope that someday I get the opportunity to serve before it's to late.
Winter is trying to sneak into the picture in Ohio and I've only been out deer hunting twice. So, after this weekend of relaxing up in a cabin at Lake Erie with my lovely wife and dear friends, I will get after my deer for this year.
A big thanks again for the support of my family and friends. Failing doesn't hurt as bad when you're still surrounded by people that love you. I'm pretty lucky that way. That's the view from my stand!
