Mr. Hogan has conceded the race to Mayor-Elect Alvin Brown. It's over.

Holy crap. I'm witnessing history being made, right here in Cowford.

If we don't hear differing points of view then this website is much less useful to everyone. Less crowing might be a good idea.

For starters we need to get Mtrain and Big guy to come back on. If either of you are out there please post!

Are you kidding? I am DYING for the both of them to show up. Crowing isn't as much fun if nobody hears!

If he comes back, mtrain will have an avatar that says "Is it 2015 Yet?"

Timkin · May 18, 2011, 10:15:01 PM

. He was on Gloating the night Moran lost....so naturally hes got his panties in a wad over the upset...but this too will pass..plus I know for a fact he has always enjoyed stabbing at me...so he will return.. not to worry.

From the Facebook page for WOKV -

Many of us that consider ourselves to be fiscal conservatives just would not support Mike Hogan because of his affiliations and ego. Too good to attend town halls? He acted like the job was his and there was no reason for an election. That is the reason he lost.

And that about sums it up. At least a good portion of it.

Agreed. He was very cocky and arrogant throughout the entire campaign!

That's pretty much dead on.

I think the victory celebrations for Alvin Brown are a little overly-enthusiastic. I didn't care for either guy and I really don't see Alvin Brown as being the White Knight for ~~Gotham~~ Jacksonville. Nothing in his platform struck me as particularly visionary and I don't see him revolutionizing anything. But surely Hogan wouldn't have, either, and Hogan came off as having a cocky attitude.

We'll see. I wish Brown luck and hope he does a decent job. Glad Jacksonville managed to get a non-white male into the office, at least.

I think Bill Scheu's letter to the editor was very impactful to a lot of people too.

That could not be more true. I think his pandering to the religious zealots with his needless comments about abortion clinics and Sharia law hurt as well. It turned off alot of moderate voters. He was way too cocky and I felt like he acted as if he was above campaigning and he should just be handed the job.

...or the Schlitz beer logo.Schlitz taste in a micro brewery world.

For many,a vote for Alvin Brown was a firewall against the outlook and attitudes of the MTrains & Co.
