Why am I not shocked? Tea party questions election results

[Dog Walker]

Because that sitting city council president was Jack Webb.

Time will tell.

Election results aside, we will soon see if this city and its leaders as well as the sheeple, get behind our new mayor and embrace the ideas and ideals put forth during the campaign. We will soon determine if Jacksonville is going to be truly colorblind and put aside the statistical gobbledygook regarding the first this and the first that of black leadership.  We will soon see if there are going to be haves and have nots in access and pecking order influence in this new administration.  We will soon see if this will be about ALL of Jacksonville or just another reincarnation of the GOB system and of individuals or certain groups hunkering down to preserve their own little piles of sh!t.

It's easy to question an election when YOUR candidate didn't win. That's how I characterize any news like this.

I don't think anyone in the tea party would hold up Mike Hogan as an ideal candidate of what they represent. Hogan was in the establishment, and none of us were too thrilled with him.

If he had never taken support from the tea party in the first place, Hogan might have been the winner last week.

By the end even Hogan could see that his tea party positions on schools and neighborhoods were hurting him.  So he sent out a flier claiming to support education, and he also sent out the infamous fliers to Riverside and Avondale residents.
