re: Fayetteville's Anti-Discrimination Ordinance... repealed.

Another thing to remember is that roughly half as many people voted in this special election as voted for the last mayoral election. The right side was very organized and motivated. They talk about high turnout in the context of a special election, when the reality is a low percentage of registered voters actually cast ballots.

Had this been a general election, I think it would have passed. The liberal council members are safe in every ward except out on the west side, and mayor Jordan isn't going to be defeated by Tennant or some other tea-party coalition anytime in the next decade. That is fantasy talk. Recall that our choices the past two elections have been Jordan vs. Coody and that Steve Clark was a distant third when he ran. If it comes down to a conservative person vs Jordan, Jordan will still get those who supported him in the past, plus most of the Coody people. It won't be close.

I say that as a Coody supporter who had signs in his yard the past two elections that he lost, and someone who mostly despises Lioneld and how he runs things. I'd vote for Lioneld before some dick like Phaneuf or La Tour and not even think twice.
