I'm not sure you can rest so easily on the distinction between democrat and republican.  There are still a lot of 'Southern' democrats, i.e. conservative dems that vote both sides of the aisle.

true, and in this election more so than the last one (at least anecdotally) Ive met a whole bunch of libertarian leaning republicans who voted alvin.  Those lines are becoming more permeable I suspect.

I wouldn't venture to say that applied to all political races but my experience, after decades in this town, is that the mayoral election in particular can not be judged purely along party lines.  I'm just hoping the GOTV effort doesn't end up with too much collateral damage in the other races.

According to my grandfather, Reps also take the lead after 5 pm, when the workday ends.
